Learn moreIn 1876, Lakota chief Crazy Horse helped lead his people’s resistance against the white man’s invasion of the northern Great Plains. One of the leaders of the US military forces was Army Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer. The men had long been enemies. At the height of the war, when tribalism had reached its peak, they crossed paths for the last time. In this action-packed double biography, S. D. Nelson draws fascinating parallels between Crazy Horse and Custer, two men whose lives were intertwined. These warriors were alike in many ways, yet they often collided in deadly rivalry. Witness reports and reflections by their peers and enemies accompany side-by-side storytelling that offers very different perspectives on the same historical events. The two men’s opposing destinies culminated in the infamous Battle of the Greasy Grass, as the Lakota called it, or the Battle of the Little Bighorn, as it was called by the Euro-Americans.
S. D. Nelson is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in the Dakotas. He is the award-winning author and illustrator of a number of books, including Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Black Elk's Vision, which won the Western Writers of America Spur Storyteller Award and was named a Chicago Public Library Best of the Best. He lives in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Courage is an actor, activist, and adventurer who wants to see how far he can push himself until he realizes the limits of his own mortality. He dedicates his journey to every young American Indian or Chicano who had their heart broken by circumstances they did not deserve.
Eric G. Dove is an award-winning narrator who has recorded over 450 titles across a wide range of genres. An Audie nominee, he has won multiple Earphones Awards and is known for his varied and believable characterizations. An established singer/songwriter, fiction author, and avid cruising sailor, he also co-produces, with his wife Loren, their family's web series, SailAway. For more information, visit EricGDove.com.
