Cut Nose: Who Stands on a Cloud

Description

Reviews:
Cut Nose is “well documented” and “a very interesting book that should appeal to most readers. –Bud Lawrence, one of the three men who conceived and promoted the first powwow in Mankato, MN

I am in admiration with regard to your objectivity in dealing with a highly explosive subject matter, a culturally distinct person, Cut Nose. . . . I have now become convinced that it is time to reveal the times and actions of Cut Nose. Based on my experiences, I feel that any type of healing can only commence when disclosure of the facts, such as they are, are revealed.” — Ed Red Owl, Sisseton, SD, a direct descendent of Cut Nose

Dean Boutin, after exhaustive research and thoughtful analysis, has given us the definitive life story of a historical figure deeply human yet undeniably tragic. –John Koblas, author of Let Them Eat Grass: The Indian Uprising of 1862

About the Author:
Loren Dean Boutin took up writing in his retirement after a forty-year career as a psychologist. This book follows two other published books: Cut Nose, based upon historical facts and describing the 1862 War with the Dakota Indians (and its aftermath), and While God Was Hidden, which details major parts of the author’s life and his spiritual evolution from an abused Catholic altar boy to being a dyed-in-the-wool skeptic for several decades to finally acquiring a strong belief in Native American spirituality. Aside from writing, Dr. Boutin enjoys the company of his wife of nearly four decades, her fine cooking, a favorite cat, a large and growing extended family, many good friends, and a wide variety of activities including boating, fishing, other lakeside activities, gardening, traveling, and, overall, a very comfortable life in St. Peter, Minnesota.
