"Ware challenges common assumptions of Native American identity in popular culture as she reminds us that Rogers was and always will be a Cherokee Indian."--American Historical Review
"Ware synthesizes evidence mined from previously published works by and about Rogers with the newest standards of scholarship in Native American studies, offering her own deep reading of Rogers's choices and words. The result is a multilayered elucidation of Rogers's Indianness, Cherokeeness, and transnational citizenship in the Cherokee Nation and the United States."--Western Historical Quarterly
"Recommended to Will Rogers enthusiasts as well as those interested in American Indian history, the history of the American West, and the history of popular culture in the United States."--Montana The Magazine of Western History
"Ware's persuasive argument "for the study of American and American Indian cultural histories" may alter scholarly examination of US Indian history at large."--Choice
"A rich exploration of Rogers's work in film, newspapers, and radio, which allows the reader to apprehend the complexity and the subversiveness of Rogers's work, and indicates the possibilities for more tribally specific studies of the influence of Native peoples on U.S. history."--Kansas History
"Amy Ware's exciting new treatment of Will Rogers puts the 'Cherokee' back into the 'Cherokee Kid,' demonstrating the ways that Roger's deep influence on American culture emerged from a tribal context that carried across his entire career. A stunning contribution to the rich body of new work examining American Indian engagements with modernity, internationalism, and celebrity."--Philip J. Deloria, author of Indians in Unexpected Places
"Amy Ware plumbs Rogers's extant materials, from radio shows to screenplays, from newspaper columns to family letters, to probe the meanings of Native American celebrity as well as elite Cherokee identity in the early twentieth century."--Tiya Miles, author of The House on Diamond Hill: A Cherokee Plantation Story
