Northern California Indian Veterans of World War Two

"From the beginning, it’s clear that The Original Patriots is more than just a compilation of war stories. In the books numerous interviews, Lowry plumbs the vets for information about Native American culture (about languages, ceremonies and native crafts); he asks them to talk about their boarding school experiences; and he tries to understand how they were able to selflessly serve a nation that had failed again and again to serve them."

North Coast Journal

Chag Lowry's exceptional work is an essential contribution to wartime history, to the history of the Northwest, and to the history of its Native Peoples.
