- Summary
- Carter Revard was born in the Osage Indian Agency town of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. He won a radio quiz scholarship to the University of Tulsa, was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, and in 1952 was given his Osage name by his grandmother and the tribal elders.
- How his family coped with the dizzying extremes of the Great Depression and the Osage Oil Boom and with small-town life in the Osage hills is the subject of this book. It is about how Revard came to be a writer and a scholar, how his Osage roots have remained alive, about the alienation of being an Indian who "didn't look Indian," and about finding community, even far from home.
- Above all, this is a book about identity, about an Osage son who grew up to find that the world is neither Indian nor white but many colors in between.
