“Gills’ beautifully written prose in White Indians combines
his warring natures—the daring macho infused crazy man with the earth-reverent
husband and father. This book is a reminder that we Americans still live on a
continent that recently was a wilderness, and that we all possess an atavistic
need to interact with it. For those of us not so good as Michael Gills at
camping, hiking, and white-water rafting, he’s offered us a thrilling armchair
version.”
—Diane Wakoski, author The Diamond Dog
“Each word is a spark, every sentence a sizzling fuse. The
whole of White Indians is a sun-white conflagration, cleanly
and cleansing. The intensity of this visionary memoir is the core of its
message. Michael Gills sojourned in the heart of light and he has returned to
his home world with that light still clinging to his every utterance. I shall
never be the only reader grateful for his revelations—and a little frightened
of them.”
—Fred Chappell, Ancestors and Others: New and Selected
