Title : A Thousand White Women - Jim Fergus - book

Summary :

2000 First Foreign Novel Prize

REVIVAL OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST BESTSELLERS OF THE LAST DECADE

In 1875, a Cheyenne chief asked President Grant for a gift of 1,000 white women to marry to 1,000 of his warriors to promote integration.
Taking this historical fact as his starting point, Jim Fergus retraces through the personal diaries of one of these white women, May Dodd, the adventures in the wild lands of the West of these women, most of whom were recruited from prisons or psychiatric asylums.

It is at once a magnificent portrait of a woman that he offers us, a love song for the Indian people, and an unequivocal condemnation of the Indian policy of the American government of the time.

This fabulously romantic epic, which is part of the great tradition of the American Western saga, was an event when it was published in the United States. It was praised by the greatest American writers. The rights to this book were purchased by Hollywood.

A Thousand White Women inaugurates foreign literature at Cherche Midi publisher.
