Life of Sitting Bull: And History of the Indian War of 1890-91
Product Description
A Historic account of the life and death of the great medicine man and chief, Sitting Bull. This book not only tells the story of a single leader, but the entire Sioux nation and also of the Indian War of 1890-91. Known as the greatest of all the indians, the Sioux were the bravest in war, the wisest in peace, and the most advanced in mind. By telling the story of their famous leader Sitting Bull, Johnson also captures the essence of the entire tribe, including their manners, customs, ghost dances and Messiah Crazy. As possessors of the famed red pipe stone quarry, the Indian Mecca where Gitche Manito the Mighty revealed himself to man, the Sioux have cherished and developed, more than any other, the myths and legends of the Indian race.
