Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History
by Joseph M. Marshall III.

                             Drawing on vivid oral histories, Joseph M. Marshall’s intimate biography
                             introduces a never-before-seen portrait of Crazy Horse and his Lakota com-
                             munity.
                             Most of the world remembers Crazy Horse as a peerless warrior who
                             brought the U.S. Army to its knees at the Battle of Little Bighorn. But to his
                             fellow Lakota Indians, he was a dutiful son and humble fighting man who—
                             with valor, spirit, respect, and unparalleled leadership—fought for his peo-
                             ple’s land, livelihood, and honor. In this fascinating biography, Joseph M.
                             Marshall, himself a Lakota Indian, creates a vibrant portrait of the man, his
                             times, and his legacy. Thanks to firsthand research and his culture’s rich
                             oral tradition (rarely shared outside the Native American community),
                             Marshall reveals many aspects of Crazy Horse’s life, including details of the
                             powerful vision that convinced him of his duty to help preserve the Lakota
                             homeland—a vision that changed the course of Crazy Horse’s life and
                             spurred him confidently into battle time and time again. The Journey of
                             Crazy Horse is the true story of how one man’s fight for his people’s surviv-
al roused his true genius as a strategist, commander, and trusted leader. And it is an unforgettable por-
trayal of a revered human being and a profound celebration of
a culture, a community, and an enduring way of life.
