No writer, Native or otherwise, understood Cherokee history better than Robert JConley. He was always able to breathe life into his characters in a particularly vivid way. His outlaws and lawmen, heroes and villains are always memorable and never one-dimensional. Every story in Plastic Indian is satisfying and complete."" - Joseph Bruchac, author of Chenoo: A Novel
