Omschrijving
Adopted into the Cherokee tribe as a teenager, William Holland Thomas, known to the Cherokees as Wil Usdi (Little Will), went on to have a distinguished career as lawyer, politician, and soldier. The true story of Wil Usdi's life forms the basis for this historical novella, the final published work of fiction by Cherokee author Robert Conley.
The story of Wil Usdi rounds out an astounding literary career in mountainous fashion. Robert Conley's writing - from poems to novels and histories of the Cherokee people - is exquisite and beyond bounds. - Max Evans, author of Rounders and Animal Stories: A Lifetime Collection
""This last work of fiction by the late Robert J. Conley is full of the author's trademark satire, but is ultimately a powerful examination of a Cherokee's life - moving, rich, and sad. A fitting valedictory to one of the greatest Cherokee voices of our time."" - Johnny D. Boggs, author of Poison Spring: A Frontier Story, Greasy Grass: A Western Story, and Valley of Fire
Robert J. Conley (1940-2014) was the author of the Real People series, The Witch of Goingsnake and Other Stories, Mountain Windsong, and Wil Usdi. Conley was a three-time winner of the Spur Award and was named Oklahoma Writer of the Year in 1999. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Professional Writers Hall of Fame in 1996.
Luther Wilson is retired as director of the University of New Mexico Press.
