Sweeping and colourful as a Homeric epic, this is a novel of the Sioux and Cheyennes in the fateful year of 1876, when they struggled against hopeless odds, for freedom to live in the lands where their fathers were buried. it was a struggle made hopeless yet inevitable by the greedy, white hordes, attracted by the Black Hills gold rush, who called upon the U.S. govwernment to back their illegal invasion. And so for a whole year, several well-equipped armies relentlessly tracked down the free Indians. Remarkably, these armies never defeated the free Indians in an open fight. But the Indians were poorly equipped, and the buffalo on which they lived were vanishing. Finally, in mid-winter, out-numbered and out of ammunition, freezing and starving, a desperate band rallied to Craxy Horse's battle cry and met the Army with knives, clubs, and bare hands in a grim, climatic battle fought in a raging blizzard. The authors have told a daring and moving story, told it with the courage of their convictions based on twelve years of careful, detailed research. What they tell will shock some and anger others, but it will spellbind all who read it by the sheer, moving story of this heroic tale of the free Sioux, the dauntless and the dreamers. 382 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
