Flint & Feather

Why does E. Pauline Johnson, Tekahionwake, the nineteenth-century daughter of a Mohawk chief and an English gentlewoman, continue to haunt our collective imagination? Renowned biographer Charlotte Gray creates a fascinating portrait of a young woman equally at home on the stage in her "Indian" costume and in the salons of the rich and powerful. Studded with triumph and tragedy, mystery and romance, Flint & Feather is a first-rate biography, blending turn-of-the-century Canadian history and the vibrant story of a woman whose unforgettable voice still echoes through the years.
