 Click the speaker for sample. As one of the great Native American warriors, Crazy Horse remains perhaps the most enigmatic. Scorned from childhood for his light colored hair, he spurned the finery and honors characteristic to the Lakota Sioux warriors. Crazy Horse led his people to their greatest victory, at the Greasy Grass: the Battle of Little Big Horn, where Custer fell. Yet this was not his greatest personal victory. Instead, Crazy Horse's entire life was a triumph of the spirit. In his youth he was set apart by a powerful vision of Rider, the spiritual expression of his future, and by the passion and grief of his overwhelming love for a woman.
Only in battle could his fiery heart find rest. As his nomadic plains world crumbled at the encroachment of the white man's frontier, he replaced his former freedom hunting the buffalo with the gallantry of counting coup on his enemies, and the oblivion of whiskey. Still, he managed to find his way with the old-wisdom of the Lakota, and beat the U. S. Army on its own terms. He lived, and died, his own man. This is the legendary life of Crazy Horse.
