The Lakota lose their last warrior

Terry has again transported us back in time to the the last days of the powerful Ogalala warrior who finally came in to the Red Cloud agency to fight the white man no more. This book goes into detail to the conspiring factions of the Sioux leaders and the local U.S. Army commanders in bringing down the famous warrior. Terry paints the story with sights and sounds of the the capture and tragic death of Crazy Horse. The author can instill life into his characters with great passion that lets the reader have great empathy with the situations that they must go through. If you want to get hooked on history of the Old West, I recommend this book and the thirty some other books he has written. Good bye Terry. I was proud to have known and rode with you.
