Of all the great warriors of native America, Crazy Horse remains the most enigmatic. Scorned since his childhood for his light hair, he was a man who spurned the love of finery and honours so characteristic of Lakota Sioux warriors. Despite these differences, Crazy Horse led his people to their greatest victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where General Custer fell. Crazy Horse's entire life was a triumph of the spirit. In youth, Crazy Horse was set aside by his powerful vision of Rider, the spiritual expression of his future greatness, and by the passion and grief of his overwhelming love for a woman. It was only in battle that his heart could find rest. As his world crumbled, Crazy Horse managed to find his way in harmony with the age-old wisdom of the Lakota-and to beat the U.S. Army on its own terms. He lived, and died, his own man.
