![]() ![]() I loved this book because Sandoz gives Indians’ interpretation of the events that occurred during the mid-1800’s in the American Midwest. ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout the book, you really get to develop an understanding and relationship with the Native Americans, specifically Crazy Horse. This book is truly a masterpiece Sandoz has a way of using expressions that seem exactly like what the Native Americans themselves would have used. He held out boldly against the government's efforts to confine the Sioux on reservations. All his life, he fought for his homeland, attempting to free it from the intruding Europeans. Crazy Horse, the military leader of the Oglala Sioux whose personal power and social nonconformity set him off as 'strange,' fought in many famous battles, including the one at the Little Bighorn. He was named Crazy Horse by his father only after proving himself in battle, and continued to astound his tribe with feats of bravery and skill on the battlefield. As a boy, he seemed different from the other children, and he was called “The Light-Haired One”, or “Curly” by the rest of the tribe because of his unique hair. Want to feel more intimate with the Native American Indians? In this biography, Mari Sandoz writes from the perspective of the tribes, as she tells the story of the remarkable life of Crazy Horse. ![]()
