Mari Sandoz came out of the Sandhills of Nebraska to write at least
three enduring books: "Old Jules," "Cheyenne Autumn," and "Crazy
Horse, the Strange Man of the Oglalas." She was a tireless
researcher, a true storyteller, an artist passionately dedicated to
a place little known and a people largely misunderstood. Blasted by
some critics, revered by others for her vivid detail and depth of
feeling, Sandoz has achieved a secure place in American literature.
Her letters, edited by Helen Winter Stauffer, reveal extraordinary
courage and zest for life.
Included here are letters written by Sandoz over nearly forty
years--from 1928, the year of her father's death and a critical one
for her creative development, to 1966, the year of her own death.
They allow memorable flimpses of the professional and private
person: her struggles to learn her craft in spite of an
unsupportive family and hard-won formal education, her experiences
in gathering material, her relationships with editors and
publishers, her work with fledgling writers, and her commitment to
art and to various social concerns.
As a historian and as a novelist Mari Sandoz (1896-1966) stands in
the front rank of western writers: in the words of John K.
Hutchens, "no one in our time wrote better than the late Mari
Sandoz did, or with more authority and grace, about as many aspects
of the old West." This first full-length biography is particularly
concerned to show the relationship between Sandoz's life and
experiences and her writing.
Drawing heavily on materials in the Mari Sandoz Collection at
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln--correspondence to and from
Sandoz, her research notes, and manuscripts--and on interviews with
dozens of Sandoz's friends and acquaintances, the author not only
establishes the facts of Sandoz's life but confirms her standing as
a writer and historian.
