All right, here we go.
Hello, Shannon.
What's happening?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
Thanks for being here.
Appreciate it.
This is an incredible opportunity.
I'm glad you're interested in the subject of American Indian history, and I'm glad to
be here to talk about it.
Yeah, I'm glad you were willing to come here.
Yeah, I became fascinated when I…
Well, I've always been sort of peripherally interested, but never really delved into it
until I read Empire of the Summer Moon.
And then, you know, have you read that S.G.
Gwen's book about the Comanches and about the Texas Rangers?
And it's such a crazy story that I just became obsessed.
And then I read Sun of the Morning Star, and then I read Black Elk.
The Black Elk one was particularly fascinating to me because it details life before they
killed Custer to living on reservations to the desperation.
