Book Reviews: Black Elk Speaks

This weeks book of the week is a fascinating memoir of Nicholas Black Elk, as told to and interpreted by Nebraska's Poet Laureate, John G. Neihardt. It was a powerful memoir as I read it, although apparently quite a few people read this and get "spiritual manual." Either way, it was quite good and I enjoyed every moment of my reading.
