Description
Wooden Leg's story is one of courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. Born into the Northern Cheyenne tribe, he recounts his life on the Great Plains, from his childhood to his experiences as a warrior. The Battle of the Little Bighorn is a pivotal moment in his narrative, a fight that would become infamous in American history. In this account, Wooden Leg shares his perspective on the events leading up to the battle, including skirmishes with rival tribes and the growing threat of the US army. His story is a testament to the strength and determination of the Cheyenne people, who fought valiantly against the forces that sought to displace them. This edition features a new introduction by Richard Littlebear, president of Chief Dull Knife College and an enrolled member of the Northern Cheyenne Nation of Montana.
