Publisher Notes
A profile of the Teton Sioux warrior depicts him as a shy, sensitive youth who overcame his fears in order to protect his people and their lands from invading white settlers, and follows his achievements in the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876.
Media Reviews
"Freedman makes the very lack of knowledge about the thoughts and feelings of Crazy Horse, the absence of an image of him, and scare statements by him essential to knowing who he was: reticent and modest, guided through his life by a powerful vision. The central mystery of Crazy Horse is reflected in Ronald Himler's jacket painting of the warrior on his horse, facing away. It reminds us of what all good biography should do: tell us what is known and convey respect for what is not."
Synopses
A biography of the Oglala leader who relentlessly resisted the white man's attempt to take over Indian lands.
