The author of The Journey of Crazy Horse presents a legendary battle through the eyes of the Lakota
“ A profoundly loving and proudly tendentious view of the bloody battle and the fierce cultural warfare that ensued.”The saga of “Custer’s Last Stand” has become ingrained in the lore of the American West, and the key players—Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and George Armstrong Custer—have grown to larger-than-life proportions. Now, award-winning historian Joseph M. Marshall presents the revisionist view of the Battle of the Little Bighorn that has been available only in the Lakota oral tradition. Drawing on this rich source of storytelling, Marshall uncovers what really took place at the Little Big Horn and provides fresh insight into the significance of that bloody day. —Kirkus Reviews “ Marshall’s thoughtful reflections and rich detail . . . immerse the reader in the experience of a once free people wrestling with an uncertain destiny.” —Publishers Weekly |
