Black Elk Speaks

I guess I don't have that much to say yet about the content of the first 6 chapters of Black Elk Speaks, but it was nice to read something written in a story form for a change. I really like how Neihardt write Black Elk Speaks: ...and tells Black Elk's stories as he would tell them and then says Standing Bear or whoever else speaks: ...as if you're sitting there with them, listening to these men talk and add on to each other's memories. I think the other perspectives that the older men give add a lot to Black Elk's story and provide context and knowledge about things that Black Elk may not have been old enough to understand or observe.
