This work acknowledged as "an invaluable resource for any scholar interested in the Plains Indians", and to further cite Larry Blumenfeld's article on Stanley Vestal ("Firsts", May 1998), it is recounted that Vestal's editing of Seger's memoirs was so extensive the title is usually considered by most authorities to be primarily Vestal's own; this 1924 first printing was listed by Blumenfeld as "Not Seen"
