The life of Crazy Horse encapsulates the tragedy of the native Americans, and the death of the untamed West. Crazy Horse symbolized a proud refusal of the American Indians to bend to the yoke of domestication, and the white man's will to rule. Legend clouds the real man and everyone who has appropriated his powerful myth has tried to use him to further their own agenda. In this vivid, carefully considered biography, Larry McMurtry strips away tall tales to arrive at the essence of this brilliant, ascetic warrior-hero. McMurtry captures the poignant passing of a time and offers a vibrant new understanding of one of America's greatest figures.
