I needed a "compliment" to my outfit that included southwestern jewelry. This bag was perfect! It was "roomy" and yet "dressy" enough for a formal evening. It also would be good to use when wearing jeans. So, I would say it is versatile as well. Choose this bag if you like something a bit "funky" and different.

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in Native American tack. The pictures are plentiful and first rate and the text is well researched. Definitely a keeper!

This book is a keeper. The photographs are crisp clear and outstanding. I liked the historical research and the old photographs accompanying the beautiful color photo of the same horse mask. It is a book well worth looking into....Ken

A astoundingly beautiful array of beaded horse masks, utilized by various Native American tribes. The masks are as intricate in detail, as the garments worn by the tribesmen themselves. Most books on Native American artifacts fail to even mention the existance of horse masks. This book is a valuable addition to information on the material culture of the Native Americans.

This is a wonderful and historic story, especialy interesting to children who live in Ohio and can visit the cave where Mary lived. However, just be aware that a two year old child is scalped because he can't keep up and cries too much. My daughter was VERY upset by this, especially because she has a two year old sister! You know your child best: if your child is a sensitive one, consider waiting a few more years for this story or prepare him/her ahead of time or read it together.

I THINK BEADED MOCCASINS IS A GREAT STORY FOR ADVENTURURES. THERE ARE SOME SAD PARTS. BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE END IT WAS WORTH IT. THER WERE SOME PARTS WHERE I COULDN'T PUT THE BOOK DOWN.

You move somewhere you do not want to and then are made to do more chores than your brother and then to top it all off, you get captured by the Delaware Indians then work for them in there garden are made their daughter only because theirs died! Well you would find these details in the book The Beaded Moccasins. This historical fiction was about a girl named Mary Campbell. She was just turning 12. She loved her family but they would bug her sometimes. Mary came from Fairfield, Connecticut and was made to move west to Ohio. Her dad called it westering. I think she was brave and courageous. Mary always wanted to be outside and never work hard. She was kind of selfish until she was captured. For example when she was made to work in the garden and last in that cold winter with just a dress and leggings. She really started to feel that she did something that she could never fix and she should have not ran out into the field and disrespect her mother and that where she lived before was much better than where she is now.There were many good details and interesting settings. For example the Campbell's farm was set on fire by the Delaware Indians just to capture Mary. Also Mary felt very lonely and afraid of life. She needed to be more courageous. The Delaware made the boys jump into the ice covered river to make them stronger so she tried it and her Grand father whipped her so hard. I didn't like one part of the book because the Delaware killed Mrs. Stewart's baby because it would not stop crying. But over all the novel was very intense and kept me on the edge of my seat.

This book was one of the most popular on the shelf for independent reading this year, with both male and female middle school students. Perhaps it was because it is based on an actual event. Perhaps the straight forward language used by the author appealed. Whatever the reason, as a teacher, I make note of any book that motivates students to read, and this one did.
