| Publisher Description: Seven Generations is a historically accurate novel of successive generations of a Shoshone family from 1825-1910. It is told from the point of view of seven fascinating characters entwined in a colorful and dramatically changing world. There is one part for each generation with each part written in a different style. First, Trees-Told-It tells of a life of turmoil until being moved to a reservation. In the second part the daughter of Trees-Told-It becomes a Mormon in the 1880s. Part three is the memory of the grandson, Rides-In-Laughter of Indian boarding school and WWI. The main character in the fourth generation marries a Spokane woman and is present for the building of the dams on the Columbia River. Next, two descendants of Trees-Told-It meet each other in New York City to celebrate the end of WWII. In part six, the family's US Marines twin brothers fight in Operation Enduring Freedom. The last chapter tells of a thirteen year-old girl living today on the Wind River Reservation. |
