About this title

About the Author:

Joseph M. Marshall III was born and raised on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation and holds a PhD from the reservation university, which he helped to establish. The award-winning author of ten books, including Hundred in the Hand, The Lakota Way, and The Journey of Crazy Horse, he has also contributed to various publications.

From AudioFile:

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
