One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd (One Thousand White Women Series, 1)
"One Thousand White Women" begins with May Dodd's journey west, into the unknown. Yet the unknown is a far better fate than the life she left behind: committed to an insane asylum by her blueblood family for the crime of loving a man beneath her station, May finds that her only hope of freedom is to participate in a secret government program whereby women from the "civilized" world become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. What follows is the story of May's breathtaking adventures: her brief, passionate romance with the gallant young army captain John Bourke; her marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; and her conflict of being caught between two worlds, loving two men, living two lives.

I could not finish this book, it lacked character development & sincerity. The thoughts decribed by May Dodd's character do not make sense, she was way too detached... it was a lousy attempt at describing a woman's perspective, through the eyes of a man.
I highly recommend this book. May was definitely beyond her time. Her frankness in her diaries was humorous and I loved her prose. But sadly the book does not end on a good note. The premise may be fiction but the treatment of American Indians is truthful. We as a country behaved horridly and tragically.
