This is a really good book. Even though I can read this book in one sitting. I do recommend this book. Even though I wish it was way more informative and wayyyyyy longer. Everybody should definitely read "Jenny of the Tetons".

I both liked and disliked this book. The history of Jenny Leigh, a Shoshone woman, who Jenny's Lake in the Tetons and the history of the Dick and Jenny Leigh family was interesting. The color and information added by the fictional character Carrie was interesting too. But it just bugged me that she was not really a part of the real life of Jenny and her family.
Maybe I just needed to read Beaver Dick Leigh's diary and nothing else.

I picked up this book while I was in Grant Teton NP, my favorite place on earth, (so maybe I'm a little biased), but I loved it so much. It was simply written, like journal entries, but that made it so much more perfect. It felt like I was discovering the Tetons all over again. The scenes were Carrie describes her first views of the Tetons and the lakes made me tear up. But that ending. Damn. I was NOT expecting that, and it has stuck with me ever since.
This book is so special; and you can read it in just one sitting. I definitely recommend picking it up!!!

I'm glad I finally read this. It wasn't perfect, but it was an interesting look into the lives of Native Americans waaaay back when.
