by W. Fletcher Johnson
author of “the Johnstown Flood” and “Stanley in Africa”
RARE AND SCARE 1st EDITION!
A graphic account of the life of the
great medicine man and chief Sitting Bull; his tragic death: story of the Sioux
Nation; their manners and customs, ghost dances and messiah craze; also, a very
complete history of the sanguinary Indian war of 1890-’91.
An historic account of the life and death of the great
medicine man and chief Sitting Bull, this book tells not the story of a single
leader, but of the entire Sioux Nation and also of the sanguinary Indian War of
1890-91. Known as the greatest of all the Indians, the Sioux were the bravest
in war, the wisest in peace, the most powerful in body, and the most advanced
in mind. By telling the story of their famous leader, Johnson also captures the
essence of the entire tribe, including their manners, customs, ghost dances,
and Messiah Craze. As possessors of the famed Red Pipe Stone Quarry, the Indian
Mecca where Gitche Manito the Mighty revealed himself to man, the Sioux have
cherished and developed, more than any others, the myths and legends of the
Indian race.
