The true life of Crazy Horse is plagued with questions. Hedid not leave any letters or diaries nor are there any records of speeches hemade. Most notably, it is still unclear whether his death was an accidentor a murder. Nevertheless, Crazy Horse is considered a gripping symbol offreedom, dignity, and the American West. He was the unfathomable leader for theLakota tribe and was looked upon for protection by his people. But as whitesinvaded the Lakota lands and the buffalo herds shrank, many Lakota were forcedto relocate to reservations. But not all, for Crazy Horse was determined to fightfor his home.

Rejecting the reservation system and negotiations with the whiteinvaders, he guided the Lakota in two of the most monumental defeats eversuffered by the US Army: the Fetterman Fight in 1866, and the Battle of LittleBighorn in 1876, which was fought against the infamous General George ArmstrongCuster. Over twenty illustrations and photographs help kids better understandthis crucial figure and pivotal moment in nineteenth-century American history. Crazy Horse, part of the Wild West forKids series, is a must-read for any young historian hoping to learn about a mysteriousman who played an influential role in the Native American battles in the West.
