Joseph M. Marshall III
Drawing on firsthand research and his culture's rich oral tradition (rarely shared outside the Native American community), Marshall reveals many aspects of Crazy Horse's life, including details of the powerful vision that convinced him of his duty to help preserve the Lakota homeland, a vision that changed the course of Crazy Horse's life and spurred him confidently into battle time and time again.
The Journey of Crazy Horse is the true story of how one man's fight for his people's survival roused his true genius as a strategist, commander, and trusted leader. And it is an unforgettable portrayal of a revered human being and a profound celebration of a culture, a community, and an enduring way of life.

Critic reviews
"A vivid, haunting biography that acknowledges the author's boyhood hero worship but avoids hagiography....This book adds spirit and life to our understanding of this enigmatic and important man." (Publishers Weekly)
"Marshall does a good job of bringing Crazy Horse to life by examining all his milestones....A highly readable, as-accurate-as-the-record-allows study of the nineteenth-century's best-known Lakota chief." (Booklist)

This is a tale, like most...if not all, native American tribes who were ravaged by so called progress and Manifest Destiny. I am not here to to go off on a tirade against the white man like a enraged liberal where all things white are bad. I will say, however, that the Anglo-Saxons that make up and own most of this country did steal it from its natives. This is underscored in its on way in this book.
That said, I'll close by saying I hope things can change in the future where we all recognize the loss of lives in this country where, despite its collective shortcomings,past and present, it is still one if the best places to live. This book made me realize that because there are still, thank God, Lakotas living among us today.
Moving forward, we need to accept our shortcomings, admit to the horrors done to the Native Americans (yes I know the argument that some were bloodthirsty and were war mongers) and must focus on they things the US govt did to the natives of this nation and own that. In so doing, we can move forward together as a better nation while ensuring such tragedies never happen again.
I wish I were a young man again....

What does Joseph M. Marshall III bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The use of Lakota words that I would struggle with and familiarity with concepts made this feel natural and right, bringing me into the narrative more and allowing me to see behind the character's eyes.Any additional comments?
The author provides a disclaimer that Crazy Horse is part of a hero story, but also a part of history. He treats the topic very well, giving all points of view and elevates the character by distilling the real man out of the legend and history books. I would highly recommend this to any fan of historical book.Bringing reality to history
