From the publisher

“ I wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle. “ Sitting Bull lived and died for his people, the Sioux of the Great Plains. Renowned author George Edward Stanley traces Sitting Bull’s lifelong fight for justice and struggle to retain his tribe’s ancestral lands, as well as the battle at Little Bighorn and the terrible massacre at Wounded Knee that occurred in the wake of his death.”
