Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The Edward Clown family, nearest living relatives to the Lakota war leader, presents the family tales and memories told to them about their famous grandfather. In many ways the oral history differs from what has become the standard and widely accepted biography of Crazy Horse. The family clarifies the inaccuracies and shares their story about the past, including what it means to them to be Lakota, the family genealogy, the life of Crazy Horse and his motivations, his death, and why they chose to keep quiet with their knowledge for so long before finally deciding to tell the truth as they know it.

This book is a compelling addition to the body of works about Crazy Horse and the complicated and often conflicting events of that time period in American History.

We will remain Lakota -- Walks with sacred buffalo -- Black Buffalo -- Passing the sacred bundle -- A new life -- The coming of the Americans -- War begins in earnest -- The hemblecha -- The name is passed -- Fighting for our hunting grounds -- A family man -- Peace and a family episode -- Painful losses -- Prelude to a showdown -- Summer solstice -- The Red Flower Fight -- The Greasy Grass -- The end of a good life -- The Agency -- His final days -- Joining those on the other side -- Silence and misdirection -- Wounded Knee -- Keeping quiet -- The family sacred bundle -- A new Crazy Horse -- Learning the Red Road -- Standing up to tell the truth -- Appendix.
