In the Land of the Grasshopper Song
By Mary Ellicott Arnold and Mabel Reed
In 1908, two young women - authors of this book - accepted Indian Service appointments as field matrons for the Karuk Indians in the Klamath and Salmon River country of Northern California. This book follows their everyday life on the frontier in an Indian village. It is also the account of their two years in Indian country where, in the sixty-mile stretch between Happy Camp and Orleans, they were the only white women. Paperback.
