Crazy Horse — Bill Dugan

THE SIOUX WARS

As the United States recovers from the devastation of the Civil War, the white man begins a violent push westward, claiming the land of the Sioux and their Cheyenne allies through broken treaties and cold-blooded aggression. Desperate, the Sioux turn to Crazy Horse, the one man who might save their nation.

Washington has sent its best military leaders west, but only one man seems to embody all the contradictions that the merciless warfare on the Great Plains could evoke--George Armstrong Custer.

The fate of an entire people rests on the outcome of a bloody confrontation between these two determined warriors. Though Crazy Horse will win the battle, he ultimately loses the war; when he is murdered a year after Little Big Horn, the future of the Sioux Nation is lost forever.

Impeccably researched, rich with real-life characters and period detail, this powerful historical novel vividly recounts the fury of the Sioux Wars and their most awe-inspiring leader, Crazy Horse, from his first battle to his final, tragic betrayal and death.
