Dixon, long an advocate for Native American rights, anthropologist Susan Krouse has compiled numerous firsthand accounts of Native Americans who served in World War I. . . .

North American Indians in the Great War is a fine and much-needed addition to the growing body of literature on American Indian history."—Joel R. Hyer, South Dakota History "More discussion and interpretation of American Indian participation in World War I and its impact on pan-Indianism and assimilation waits to be undertaken. Krouse has provided historians, anthropologists, and American Indian communities with additional primary source material to further that effort."—Danielle Moretti-Langholtz, Journal of Anthropological Research "Susan Applegate Krouse gives voice to American Indian soldiers who served in the Great War." —Nancy Gentile Ford, Journal of American Ethnic History
