One Thousand White Women is the story of May Dodd and a colorful assembly of pioneer women who, under the auspices of the US government, travel to the western prairies in 1875 to intermarry among the Cheyenne Indians.

Interesting book, but I did not care for the reader of the audio book. She attempted different voices/ accents for the different characters. If you cant do it well, I would prefer it be read in just one voice. Bothered me all the way through the book and usually I can get used to an average reader.
