Annotation: 

Sympathetic overview of Long’s accomplishments and deceptions, emphasizing the racial barriers which necessitated the subterfuge and highlighting the sensitivity of Long’s writings about Indians.  Editor James A. Clifton notes, “Had this talented man been born a generation later, he might have marched pridefully with Martin Luther King, or served the resurgent Lumbee Indians ... in a leadership capacity” (p. 184).
