4.0 out of 5 stars The Lance and the Shield, 9 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This wonderful biography of Sitting Bull is an absolute MUST for anyone with an interest in Native American history and lives. Well-written and eminently accessible, it is a biography that is hard to put down, displaying a deep understanding of the life-ways of the Lakota Sioux. The peoples and relationships of the 19th century plains become truly 3-dimensional through the graphic and beautiful descriptions in the text. Detailed explanations of cultural beliefs and traditions are seamlessly interwoven throughout the rich narrative, illuminating the images of landscapes and lives, and capturing the imagination. Here is a book that presents more than just mythology - a book that enables us to begin to understand the inevitable and tragic clash of cultures.
