“Sandoz…manages to recreate a man, a scene, an event, a page from history, so that through her prose this great story of the struggle of a small band of homesick, mistreated, half-starved Indians against the military might of a major nation takes on the stature of an American epic.”
— Chicago Sunday Tribune
"Not only in American history but in all history it is hard to find stories as moving…as this one. The highest praise one could…would be to say that it was worthy of its subject. Cheyenne Autumn deserves that accolade."
