Overall it was well written
It was a well written story of a terrible experience for a woman to endure.
But I still couldn’t help cringe at the racist terms used and general racist attitude she had of the Indians, who she called “savages and brutes” constantly.
The story definitely shows the attitude of white people during that time period towards the Native Americans.
P.s
I am so sorry what happened to the Native American people.
