Wooden Leg : A Warrior Who Fought Custer by Thomas B. Marquis (2003, paperback)

Description: Discover the riveting story of a Native American warrior who fought against General Custer in the book "Wooden Leg: A Warrior Who Fought Custer" by Thomas B. Marquis. This trade paperback edition, published by University of Nebraska Press in 2003, is perfect for history and social science enthusiasts alike. Learn about the experiences of Wooden Leg and his people during this era of conflict and oppression. With 390 pages of captivating narrative and illustrations by Marquis, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in ethnic studies and Native American history. Told with vigor and insight, this is the memorable story of Wooden Leg (1858-1940), one of sixteen hundred warriors of the Northern Cheyenne's who fought with the Lakota's against Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Wooden Leg remembers the world of the Cheyenne's before they were forced onto reservations. He tells of growing up on the Great Plains and learning how to be a Cheyenne man. We hear from him about Cheyenne courtship, camp life, spirituality, and hunting; of skirmishes with Crows, Pawnees, and Shoshones: and of the Cheyennes' valiant but doomed resistance against the army of the United States. In particular, Wooden Leg recalls the fight against Custer of the Little Big Horn, a controversial and arresting recollection that stands as the first published Native account of that battle.
