Historical
One Thousand White Women is the story of May Dodd and a
colorful assembly of pioneer women who, under the auspices
of the U.S. government, travel to the western prairies in
1875 to intermarry among the Cheyenne Indians. The covert
and controversial "Brides for Indians" program, launched by
the administration of Ulysses S. Grant, is intended to help
assimilate the Indians into the white man's world. Toward
that end May and her friends embark upon the adventure of
their lifetime. Jim Fergus has so vividly depicted the
American West that it is as if these diaries are a capsule
in time.
