He was the most feared and loathed Indian of his time, making his reputation in delight victories contrary to the troops of Generals Crook and Custer at the Rosebud and Little Bighorn. Despite his long lasting reputation, he has remained an enigma (even the whereabouts of his burial place are unknown, and no portrait or picture of him exists). Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Thomas Capabilities brings Crazy Horses alive in this vibrant work of American record. Capabilities situates the critical battles won by Crazy Horses within the framework of the decades-long turmoil between Indian tribes and U.S. Army forces commonly called the fantastic Sioux Wars. He explores the complicated relationship between the tribes - specifically, Crazy Horse's Lakota Sioux - and the federal government authorities. And he makes clear why the few battles won by the Indians - whatever the fear they left in their wake - did not ultimately help them to stem the tide of settlers, rare metal seekers, and buffalo hunters that flooded the fantastic Plains following the Civil War.
