*One Hundred Years of Old Man Sage: An Arapaho Life*. By Jeffrey D. Anderson. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2003. x + 140 pp. Illustrations, map, notes, bibliography, index. $35.00, £26.95.)
Sage, Sherman Sage, Nookhoos, and Good-to-Look-At are among the names given to a remarkable Northern Arapaho man from Wyoming's Wind River Reservation. While "Old Man Sage" could not write, he granted numerous interviews and maintained friendships with whites during the last forty years of his long life (1844–1943). Jeffrey D. Anderson draws from these sources and his six years of field research to piece together this interesting and very readable biography.	1

The remaining thirteen chapters randomly dip here and there on various other topics about Arapaho traditions and history. Throughout the book, Anderson uses Sage's own words as much as possible to glimpse aspects of "being" Arapaho.
