This was an informative, thought provoking look at US history and the stories that are often not told. I took my time reading this to fully understand and take in the information. The book has a variety of writing styles that make it such a unique collection from straightforward informational essays to novel-like recreations to poetry!

Four Hundred Souls should be a book that everyone reads and refers back to in order to understand history, systemic racism, and the problems/politics still present today. I look forward to using this as a stepping point and researching many of the topics that I had never learned about in school, as well as reading more from the contributors!
