You are right, and my apologies to Both Moon and his fans for getting
his name wrong.  I'm officially old now (got my Medicare card in the
mail recently).

I own both of the books mentioned, as well as _Prairie Earth_, also by
Moon, and have read other of his works.  Moon is Osage, and has a
perspective derived from his boyhood in an Osage home, his marriage to a
fellow Native American (Cherokee), and a life in the world of academic
and letters.  Everything he has written is worth reading, and it's
mostly about the America that many of us love to travel.

Moon stealth camped across the country before the term was invented.
