New Book about Crazy Horse

[Thomas Eckhardt]

Thanks for this. With regard to the tragic ending of the story at 
Wounded Knee, I recommend, besides "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", Rex 
Alan Smith's "Moon of Popping Trees." Poetic accounts of the events 
surrounding 29 December 1890 may be found in Derek Walcott's "Omeros" 
and his play "Ghost Dance."
