Paiute Princess: The Story of Sarah Winnemucca by Deborah Kogan Ray is a young adult biography that tells about the life of Sarah (the name white people gave her) Thocmetony Winnemucca.  She was two years old and following the way her native people had lived for generations in what is now the general area of Nevada. She was clever, outgoing, and spoke for her people. The book tells of the hardships she and her tribal family endured as well as the ways that she worked to help them.  This is a well written and illustrated book, if sad, that adds to our current understanding of the area and the people.
