Synopsis

Crazy 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. He held out tirelessly against the U.S. government's efforts to confine the Lakotas to reservations. Finally, in the spring of 1877 he surrendered, only to meet a violent death. More than a century later, Crazy Horse continues to hold a special place in the hearts and minds of his people. Mari Sandoz offers a powerful evocation of the long-ago world and enduring spirit of Crazy Horse. Mari Sandoz (1896-1966) is the noted author of Cheyenne Autumn , Old Jules , and The Battle of the Little Bighorn (all available in Bison Books editions). Vine Deloria Jr. is the author of many books, including Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto and Red Earth , White Lies: Native Americans and the Myth of Scientific Fact.
