(3) 4-6 Lifeways series. Overloaded with historical background about the Navajo and their beliefs and customs, this volume gets off to a slow start. Strangely, the information about the three-hundred-mile march endured by over eight thousand Native Americans and their incarceration at Fort Sumner, New Mexico--ostensibly the book's focus--is rushed and insubstantial. The blandly written text is illustrated with maps, photos, and reproductions. Bib., ind.
