Product Description

Ingram

Defying her family to be with the man she loves, a beautiful Native American makes the fateful decision to marry into the brawling Osage clan. Over three decades, the two will themselves fight to make a place of their own amid an Oklahoma landscape of dust and oil rigs. Through the good and bad times, and through the strength of their five sons, this remarkable family will gain courage from their age-old traditions, and hold passionately onto the rugged land they call home. .

3.0 out of 5 stars MISTY HILLS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT, Jan 18 2000
By A Customer
AS THE OTHER PERSON WROTE, MISTY HILLS IS A WELL-WRITTEN, GOODBOOK BUT DISAPPONTING FOR LEARNING ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN HABITS ANDLIFE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE'S FAMILY. I THOUGHT THE BOOK WOULD BE AKIN TO MEDAWAR'S OTHER TWO NATIVE-AMERICAN BOOKS. I ALSO DIDN'T LIKE BEING EVERY YOUNG PERSON'S SEX LIFE. END

4.0 out of 5 stars more about Oklahoma than about the Osage, April 27 1998
I read "Misty Hills of Home" based on the fact that I really enjoyed two of Medawar's other books ("People of the Whistling Waters" and "Death at Rainey Mountain" are about 19th century Crow and Kiowa tribes) but unfortunately, the details that made the other two books so interesting are absent from "Misty Hills of Home." Which is not to say that "Misty Hills" isn't worth reading. It's an entertaining book that covers the lives and loves of an Osage family living on tribal lands in Oklahoma from the beginning of the Great Depression until the end of World War II. The problem I had with the book is that for all the reference that's made to Native American culture and history, Medwar could just as easily have been writing about my own Irish-American family, residents of Oklahoma since the 1870's. Still, it's worth reading, particularily if you are a fan of the author.
