Bill Yenne
Sitting Bull’s name is still the best known of any American Indian leader, but his life and legacy remain shrouded with misinformation and half-truths. Sitting Bull’s life spanned the entire clash of cultures and ultimate destruction of the Plains Indian way of life. He was a powerful leader and a respected shaman, but neither fully captures the enigma of Sitting Bull. He was a good friend of Buffalo Bill and skillful negotiator with the American government, yet erroneously credited with both murdering Custer at the Little Big Horn and with being the chief instigator of the Ghost Dance movement.
The reality of his life, as Bill Yenne reveals in his absorbing new portrait, Sitting Bull, is far more intricate and compelling. Tracing Sitting Bull’s history from a headstrong youth and his first contact with encroaching settlers, through his ascension as the spiritual and military leader of the Lakota, friendship with a Swiss-American widow from New York, and death at the hands of the Indian police on the eve of the massacre at Wounded Knee, While Sitting Bull was the leading figure of Plains Indian resistance his message, as Yenne explains, was of self-reliance, not violence. At the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull was not confronting Custer as popular myth would have it, but riding through the Lakota camp making sure the most defenseless of his tribe - the children - were safe. In Sitting Bull we find a man who, in the face of an uncertain future, helped ensure the survival of his people.

Pretty dry story, just OK.

The narration is good, except for when it’s bad. The emphasis given to the pronunciation of tribal band names, while perhaps correct in 19th century native usage, is silly and distracting, and I doubt that even tribe members today pronounce them that way. It’s like when on the talking heads on the evening news do a ridiculously emphasized pronunciation of a Spanish name because they think it makes them look cultured.
It is okay as an introduction to Sitting Bull for familiarization, but if you are only going to read one book about him or the Plains Wars, don’t pick this one. The Earth is all that Lasts, Utley’s Indian Frontier, and The Earth is Weeping will serve you much better.
