About This Item
Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2007., 2007. First edition. First Edition. Boards with Cloth Spine. vii-xvi.-301pp. Illustrations. 3 Maps. Preface. Notes. Bibliography. Index. An excellent, thoroughly researched biography on this important Sioux Chief. "Larson has provided a richly detailed history of Native life in the Northern Plains as well as the sequence of events that left the Lakota bereft of their homeland and their traditional way of life at the close of the nineteenth century. The biography is based on extensive research and the author appears to have uncovered just about every possible tidbit of factual information about Gall, who was overshadowed by Sitting Bull, his mentor, and the other Lakota notables of the era. That Gall was a formidable foe to both tribal enemies and the white trespassers on Lakota hunting grounds is well documented. Physically impressive, bold in battle, and conspicuous in the red regalia he fancied, even Gall's adversaries gave him grudging admiration." As New in dust jacket.
