The Journey of Crazy Horse, A Lakota HIstory
Dec 26, 2008 by Sherry Lucas
This book is an excellent biography of Crazy Horse as told by an Indian; a story passed down through the generations. Having grown up thinking Crazy Horse was a somewhat vicious Indian warrior, this book was very enlightening. It gives insight into the real Crazy Horse; the somewhat shy individual who seemed not to particularly want the role he was destined to assume. You get to know Crazy Horse through the stages of his life; a boy, young man, husband, father and leader. He was a man who wanted to live free.
