Overview

A childhood biography of a Native-American hero

Crazy Horse (1849?-1877), chief of the Oglala Sioux, is best known for his part in the Native-American resistance to white expansion in the western United States. With the help of Sitting Bull, a chief of the Hunkpapa Sioux, the Sioux kept their land free of occupation by white settlers. In 1876 Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull's camp was attacked by Lieutenant Colonel Custer. In the ensuing Battle of the Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse and his warriors killed Custer and most of his cavalry. The United States Army then began a relentless pursuit of Crazy Horse. He finally surrendered in Nebraska on May 6, 1877. A few months later, while reportedly resisting confinement, he was killed by a soldier.

In the tradition of the series, this biography focuses on the childhood of this renowned Native-American hero.

Presents a brief biography of Crazy Horse, the Oglala Sioux chief who fought for the rights of Native American people and who led the defeat of General Custer at Little Big Horn in 1876.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
The story of Crazy Horse's life, including his early childhood, is testimony to the dignity of the American Indians whose land we occupy. Their lives together show great respect for their family and tribe members. Through this rendition we learn how they lived on a daily basis, how they reared their children, their customs, and their love of their sacred land. Although the Indians only wanted peace and to be left alone to live their lives as they had always done, American soldiers kept coming and disturbing them. When the government ordered them onto reservations, several wars took place. The Battle of Little Bighorn was the greatest military defeat experienced by the U.S. Military. Readers will experience a true understanding of our Native Americans, what they stood for, and how we destroyed a truly dignified way of life. 2005, Aladdin Paperbacks, Ages 8 to 12.
