A Warrior of the People--#100 finished

This one I finished on 10/30, so 100 books read by end of October, I am pretty happy about that.  This is a book about the life of Susan LaFlesche, she was the first Native American to become a doctor in the US.  She was part of the Omaha tribe, that eventually was settled into Northeast Nebraska, only a county or so away from where I grew up.  I might have heard her name or family name in school but not sure about that.  Would be sad if not because her and some of her siblings were important people in late 1800s early 1900s in our area.  She was mostly educated at different schools out east--a boarding school in New Jersey for high school, Hampton University in Virginia and a Woman's Medical College in Penn.  She got her Doctors degree and went back to the reservation to care of the native people there.  Book is a good read about her life and struggles.  Very glad I read it.

There are WL for this book on PBS but it is a keeper for me.
