Publisher Comments:

Kept off the shelves for eight years by legal battles, this is the comprehensive history of the desperate Indian efforts to maintain their traditions and preserve the sacredness of the earth. Matthiessen reveals the Lakota Indians' long struggle with the U.S. Government, from Red Cloud's War and Little Big Horn to the Indian wars of the 1970s. 3 maps.

Synopsis:

"A giant of a book. Indescribably touching, extraordinarily intelligent."—The Los Angeles Times Book Review. Matthiessen's chronicle of a fatal gun-battle between FBI agents and American Indian Movement activists in 1975.

SPEEDY, June 12, 2011 (view all comments by SPEEDY)
"IN THE SPRIT OF CRAZYHORSE" IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.
PETER MAITHERSON BROUGHT TO LIFE THE PLIGHT OF MY NATIVE PEOPLE AND AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED, NOT ONE AUTHOR SINCE DEE BROWNS "BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE" HAS COME SO CLOSE TO THE TRUTH, ACTUALLY A GRAPHIC TRUTH IS WHAT I MEANT.I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE CORRUPT UNITED STATES GOVERMENT BANNED THE BOOK FROM PUBLICATION CONSIDERING THEIR ANTI NATIVE STANCE. MY PEOPLE ARE FROM SOUTH DAKOTA AND PINE RIDGE SO I KNOW WHAT GOES ON THERE IN REAL LIFE, AND ITS STILL HAPPENING NOW..[2011] BY THE OFFSPRING OF DICK WILSON AND THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE "HANG AROUND THE FORTS" AND THE PEOPLE
JUST THIS YEAR, SOME NATIVE ELDERS FROZE TO DEATH BECAUSE THE MONEY ISSUED TO THE PEOPLE DID NOT GET TO WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO GO, BUT STRAIGHT INTO THE GREEDY CORRUPT POCKETS OF THE TRIBAL GOVERMENT COFFERS TO FUND THEIR BIG FAT GREEDY CELEBRITY LIFESTYLES ETC. THEY COULD'NT EVEN BE BOTHERED SENDING SOMEONE OUT TO CHECK ON THE PEOPLE AND TAKE THEM SOME FUEL FOR THEIR HEATERS OR WOOD FOR THEIR FIRES....OR FOOD.
THIS IS AMERICA FOLKS....NOT SOME 3RD WORLD COUNTRY. ALWAYS BIG NOTING THEMSELVES ABOUT BEING LIBERATORS FOR COUNTRIES IN NEED AND YET THEY CAN'T EVEN LOOK AFTER THE CITIZENS IN THEIR OWN BACK YARDS.
THESE PEOPLE DON'T WANT CHARITY. THEY WANT A FAIR GO FOLKS.
