ME and CHIEF (Sitting Bull)

This story recounts the last 20 years of Sitting Bull's life-narrated by his favorite horse, Blackie. Based on true events, this historical novel covers the years from 1870 until he was killed in 1890. During these years as Chief and Holy Man of the Lakota Sioux, Sitting Bull fought for, advised, counseled and represented his people, trying to enable them to live free on the northern plains as they had always done, all while the U.S. government declared them hostiles and sent the Army to round them up and contain them to living on designated reservations. Sitting Bull and Blackie were involved in the Battle on the Rosebud, present during Custer's defeat, fled to Canada, surrendered to U.S. military, took part in Buffalo Bill's Wild West shows, and raised horses from his home on the Grand River in South Dakota until his untimely murder.
