The narrative of One Thousand White Women tells the tale of May Dodd and a vibrant group of pioneer women who, in 1875, traveled to the western plains to intermarry with the Cheyenne Indians under the sponsorship of the United States government. The goal of the controversial and clandestine "Brides for Indians" program, started by the Ulysses S. Grant administration, is to assist the Indians in assimilating into society. In order to do this, May sets off on the journey of a lifetime with her pals. It seems as if Jim Fergus has captured the American West in such vivid detail that his diaries represent a time capsule.
