THE JOURNEY OF CRAZY HORSE

As might be expected of a narrator whose heritage includes a strong oral tradition, Lakota historian and author Joseph Marshall brings Crazy Horse to life. This production has it all--solid writing, fascinating subject, and deep insights into a unique time and culture. With its awed and respectful reading, the book becomes worthy of sitting in your driveway to finish. Marshall’s voice is a perfect match for the wisdom and mores of the Lakota; he captures their philosophical approach to life, respect for nature, and outrage at being invaded by Euro-Americans. Even though history has told us how the story ends, Marshall still keeps listeners on the edge of their seats, rooting for Crazy Horse and the lost Lakota way of life. H.L.S.
