This review is from: Sitting Bull (Paperback)

This book is great for anyone interested in learning about the land struggles Native Americans faced during the 19th century. Its use of primary sources enhances the understading of Sitting Bull's life and of the Lakota Sioux nation. It produce a greater interest in wanting to seek further information about the topics convered within the biography's chapters.
