Book Review of The Personal History of Rachel DuPree

The Personal History of Rachel DuPree
Bonnie avatar reviewed on + 431 more book reviews


This story has its tragedies for sure as it takes place on the frontier, in the Badlands, but the stars of the show are a black family from Chicago and what they faced not only as pioneers, but as black pioneers. Ironic also, to experience the prejudice blacks showed to the Indians. Loved the character of Dixie herself, her brutal self-assessment and realizations.
