Hundred in the Hand: Easyread Large Edition - Softcover
First in Joseph Marshall's groundbreaking Lakota Westerns series, this riveting novel takes place during the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand, otherwise known as the Fetterman Massacre of 1866. The story comes alive through the eyes of Cloud, a dedicated warrior who fights alongside a young Crazy Horse during one of the coldest winters, as well as the white soldiers who mistake Cloud's redheaded wife for a captive. A beautifully written and fast-paced Western, Hundred in the Hand brings new depth to the story of the battle and the Lakota people.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Joseph M. Marshall III was born and raised on the Rosebud Reservation and holds a PhD from the reservation university, which he helped to establish. The award-winning author of ten books, he has also contributed to various publications and written several screenplays. His first language is Lakota, he handcrafts primitive Lakota bows and arrows, and he is a specialist in wilderness survival. His work as a cultural and historical consultant can be seen and heard on Turner Network Television and the Dreamworks epic television miniseries "Into the West." He has won an Audie(R) Award, Earphones Award, "Nammy" Award, and was named Best American Indian Fiction Writer by True West magazine in 2009.
Marshall's compelling story recounts the events leading up to an early battle led by Crazy Horse. Starting with an early skirmish that costs a young Lakota his arm, Marshall reads the passages told from the Lakota viewpoint himself. His slow, gentle voice lingers over story details and the thoughts of the Lakota as they watch white settlers take over their land. John Terry reads the passages about the settlers. His voice is more energetic and expressive, but his words won't stick in listeners' minds as long. The two voices combine well to show the story's shifts in perspective. There's action, but the battles are secondary to the characters and their emotions. J.A.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
