SynopsisCrazy Horse, the legendary military leader of the Oglala Sioux whose personal power and nonconformity set him off as strange, fought in many famous battles, including the Little Bighorn. This work offers the story of this famous military leader of the Oglala Sioux., Crazy Horse , the military leader of the Oglala Sioux whose personal power and social nonconformity set him off as "strange," fought in many famous battles, including the one at the Little Bighorn. He held out boldly against the government's efforts to confine the Sioux on reservations. Finally, in the spring of 1877 he surrendered, one of the last important chiefs to do so, only to meet a violent death. Mari Sandoz, the noted author of Cheyenne Autumn and Old Jules, both available as Bison Books, has captured the spirit of Crazy Horse with a strength and nobility befitting his heroism.

history from another perspective
This masterpiece for any reader who wants to leave this troubled world behind and lose themselves in a book. There were always troubles and the ones we read about in this book prove that the "end of the world" happens throughout history. Written with the intro by Vine Deloria jr. this is what drew me to buy it. The book is written in old fashioned type text. Crafted to be a slow read and take us back in time to paint a picture of a lost generation of people who possessed courage and fortitude against impossible odds. A magical heartbreaking beautiful old book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
