Description
"The life of Crazy Horse, the greatest war chief of the Sioux Indian nation, is the subject of this MOVING AND AUTHENTICALLY DETAILED novel....Crazy Horse eagerly embraced the traditional warrior's skills, honor and purpose....Adorned with his distinctive war paint -- streaks of lightning and spots of hail -- and accompanied by his spirit guide, Hawk, the chief led his Sioux warriors in many of the frontier's most famous battles from 1865 to 1876, including the Battle of Little Big Horn. Crazy Horse and his two loves, Black Buffalo Woman and Black Shawl, tried vainly to maintain their freedom, dignity and pride. ...DEEPLY THOUGHTFUL AND PERSUASIVE...the COMPELLING story of a man destined for triumph and betrayal, but ultimately for glory." -- Publishers Weekly
