Sitting Bull: Lakota Warrior and Defender of His People

Sitting Bull (c. 1831-1890) was one of the greatest Lakota/Sioux warriors and chiefs who ever lived. From Sitting Bull's childhood - killing his first buffalo at age 10 - to being named war chief to leading his people against the U.S. Army, <i>Sitting Bull: Lakota Warrior and Defender of His People</i> brings the story of the great chief to light. Sitting Bull was instrumental in the war against the invasive <i>wasichus</i> (white men) and was at the forefront of the combat, including the Battles of Killdeer Mountain and the Little Bighorn. He and Crazy Horse were the last Lakota/Sioux to surrender their people to the U.S. government and resort to living on a reservation.<br><br> The book includes an extensive author's note and timeline, historical photographs, a map, a bibliography, endnotes, and an index.
