"Me-Smith" is an unusually powerful and appealing character study that grips and holds the reader through all of the protagonist's deeds, whether good or bad. It is a story with red blood in it. There is the cry of the coyote, the deadly thirst for revenge as it exists in the wronged Indian toward the white man, the thrill of the gaming table, and the gentleness of pure, true love. To the very end the tense dramatics of the tale is maintained without relaxation.
