In \u003ci\u003eThe Woman Who Loved Mankind\u003c\/i\u003e she enthralls readers with stories from her long and remarkable life and the stories of her parents, part of the last generation of Crow born to nomadic ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As a child Hogan had a miniature tepee, a fast horse, and a medicine necklace of green beads; she learned traditional arts and food gathering from her mother and experienced the bitterness of Indian boarding school. As an adult she drove a car, maintained a bank account, and read the local English paper, but she spoke Crow as her first language, practiced beadwork, tanned hides, and often visited the last of the old chiefs and berdaches with her family. Though she married in the traditional Crow way and was a proud member of the Tobacco and Sacred Pipe societies, she also helped establish a Christian church on her reservation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hogan's stories are warm, funny, heartbreaking, and brimming with information about Crow life. Hogan told her stories to her daughter, Mardell Hogan Plainfeather, and to Barbara Loeb, a scholar and longtime friend of the family whose record of her words stays true to Hogan's expressive speaking rhythms with its echoes of traditional Crow storytelling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLillian Bullshows Hogan\u003c\/b\u003e (1905-2003) was a highly respected Crow elder whose life spanned the twentieth century. \u003cb\u003eBarbara Loeb\u003c\/b\u003e taught Native art history at Oregon State University.
