Most of the world remembers Crazy Horse as a peerless warrior who brought the U.S. Army to its knees at the Battle of Little Bighorn. But to his fellow Lakota Indians, he was a dutiful son and humble fighting man who, with valor, spirit, respect, and unparalleled leadership, fought for his people's land, livelihood, and honor. In this fascinating biography, Joseph Marshall, himself a Lakota Indian, creates a vibrant portrait of the man, his times, and his legacy.

Story
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. The reality of his life, as Bill Yenne reveals in his absorbing new portrait, Sitting Bull, is far more intricate and compelling. In Sitting Bull we find a man who, in the face of an uncertain future, helped ensure the survival of his people.

By middle June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western World. He had given the Confederate cause what it had recently lacked: hope.

They called him Mickey Free. His kidnapping started the longest war in American history, and both sides - the Apaches and the white invaders - blamed him for it. A mixed-blood warrior who moved uneasily between the worlds of the Apaches and the American soldiers, he was never trusted by either but desperately needed by both. He was the only man Geronimo ever feared. He played a pivotal role in this long war for the desert Southwest from its beginning in 1861 until its end in 1890 with his pursuit of the renegade scout Apache Kid.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, a Native American empire rose to dominate the fiercely contested lands of the American Southwest, the southern Great Plains, and northern Mexico. This powerful empire, built by the Comanche Indians, eclipsed its various European rivals in military prowess, political prestige, economic power, commercial reach, and cultural influence. Yet, until now, the Comanche empire has gone unrecognized in American history. This compelling and original book uncovers the lost story of the Comanches.

The frontiersmen were a remarkable breed of men. They were often rough and illiterate, sometimes brutal and vicious, often seeking an escape in the wilderness of mid-America from crimes committed back east. In the beautiful but deadly country which would one day come to be known as West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, more often than not they left their bones to bleach beside forest paths or on the banks of the Ohio River.

Publisher's Summary
The acclaimed New York Times best-selling biography of the legendary Sioux warrior Red Cloud: “a page-turner with remarkable immediacy...and the narrative sweep of a great Western” (The Boston Globe).
Red Cloud was the only American Indian in history to defeat the United States Army in a war, forcing the government to sue for peace on his terms. At the peak of Red Cloud’s powers the Sioux could claim control of one-fifth of the contiguous United States and the loyalty of thousands of fierce fighters. But the fog of history has left Red Cloud strangely obscured. Now, thanks to the rediscovery of a lost autobiography, and painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the 19th century’s most powerful and successful Indian warrior can finally be told.
In The Heart of Everything That Is, Bob Drury and Tom Clavin restore Red Cloud to his rightful place in American history in a sweeping and dramatic narrative based on years of primary research. As they trace the events leading to Red Cloud’s War, they provide intimate portraits of the many lives Red Cloud touched - mountain men such as Jim Bridger; US generals like William Tecumseh Sherman, who were charged with annihilating the Sioux; fearless explorers, such as the dashing John Bozeman; and the memorable warriors whom Red Cloud groomed, like the legendary Crazy Horse. And at the center of the story is Red Cloud, fighting for the very existence of the Indian way of life.
“Unabashed, unbiased, and disturbingly honest, leaving no razor-sharp arrowhead unturned, no rifle trigger unpulled....a compelling and fiery narrative” (USA Today), this is the definitive chronicle of the conflict between an expanding white civilization and the Plains Indians who stood in its way.

Brutally honest
I am 75 but spent 47 years in AZ and the southwest and have read many accounts of Indian wars. I actually taught US History before our society stopped thinking it was valuable thing for young people to learn. This was the best, and unlike many others, spoke frankly to the violence and emotion on both sides. The narrative seems to cover what it was really like and not what Hollywood and our politically correct history portrays.

I was so disappointed in the reading of this book. The performer mispronounced the names of many people and places so badly I was put off the entire book and am planning on returning it. As a professional production , I think it is reasonable to expect at least proper pronunciations.

Would you listen to The Heart of Everything That Is again? Why?
The narration is great, the historical narrative is terrific. This is one I'll be coming back to.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Heart of Everything That Is?
This book brings the listener/reader back to the old west. It gives the listener/reader the viewpoints of both sides in the struggle and helps you to see things from both vantage points equally well.

Couldn't put it down!
This was an excellent read!
“The Heart of Everything That Is” provides the reader an insight into the lives of the Native Americans as never heard before. Clavin/Drury do an excellent job of telling (most) of the story thru the eyes of these brave and noble people as their land is stolen from them and their people are forced to live where the whites say. It was fascinating to learn about the Indian culture without candy-coating their actions and using Hollywood as the yardstick for which to measure them. They were far from savage; noble, brave, gallant, courageous.
Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Old Man Afraid of his Horses and countless others are the true heros of the frontier by defending what was already theirs. It was interesting to understand how the Indians interacted within their tribes and with other (Indian) communities, and it was fascinating to learn how they lived and fought whether or not it was against other Indians or the Whites. And it was difficult to comprehend the true history of the United States as the chapters unfold and the white soldiers continue to take.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The even-flow from page to page and chapter to chapter along with the easy to listen narration by George Newbern made this 2-part down load any easy selection for a second read in the coming weeks. We as Americans owe a great deal to the Natives who were here before us and we have Clavin/Drury to thank for sharing this small part of their valiant history.

An excellent history of the Sioux peoples and its transformation as a nation from other native nations and then the jugernaut of US migration west. Red Cloud has slipped between the historical figures of the time (I had never heard of him) but really deserves a prominent spot in the history books. The story is told with compelling and interesting narrative.

U. S. Government Lies, Duplicity and Genocide
This book is a good example of how our government, with the explicit approval of white citizens, stole Native American land with negotiations that made no attempt to understand native culture in which legal practices and property ownership were totally alien and conclude treaties they had no intention of keeping. When the greed of miners seeking gold or settlers taking land that did not belong to them, the government tore up treaties and forcibly drove native peoples away in the name, of civilization and progress. It was not surprising the various tribes fought back ferociously with formidable leaders like Red Cloud. Native warfare was indeed cruel and heartless, but the U. S. Army did not win any glory by perpetrating indiscriminate murder of natives who were not fighting against them. As a retired army officer, I view the army's performance during that period as shameful. I've never felt any sympathy for the miners, settlers, trappers, hunters, etc. that fell to natives defending their land, culture and way of life. After all, fighting against injustice and for freedom is the American way.

The Irresistable Force Paradox: Manifest Destiny
When an unstoppable force (aka the white man) meets an immoveable object (aka the American Indian). Vae Victis...
Well-researched and presented piece of American history that does not take sides, but rather presents the battles between the savage efficiency of the Oglala Sioux and a technologically advanced U.S. government. Chief Red Cloud realized early in his life that the government treatise "existed on paper and dissolved on the ground," and refused to continue meeting with the U.S. government, saying he would continue instead, to fight their encroachment on his people's sacred grounds. Considered by historians as the greatest American Indian military strategist, Red Cloud was able to analyze the U.S. soldiers fighting style and their conditions, and use the knowledge to his tactical advantage to fight for the Indian way of life. In his later years, after a life of battles and meetings with the government, Red Cloud knew his people and their life style was no match for the empire-minded white man; the bow and arrow no match for guns that fired multiple bullets.
Similar to Empire of the Summer Moon, but focused on Chief Red Cloud as opposed to a tribe of American Indians. I found the read fascinating, but definitely brutal. After reading dozens of books about the American Indians, a favorite subject of mine, this is the first time I have had the authors actually explain the reason for such savage butchery.
I read the Autobiography of Red Cloud (by R. Eli Paul) about a dozen years ago, told by Red Cloud to different journalists, writers, etc., (which would be a good companion read to this book) but found this one better organized and the better view into life in the American West from both sides on the great plains in the mid 1800's. Don't miss if this is a subject you are interested in--the information is riveting and the narration/production very good.

Mispronunciation of important nouns distracting
What did you like best about The Heart of Everything That Is? What did you like least?
Very interesting story full of details I didn't know.
What other book might you compare The Heart of Everything That Is to and why?
Hanta Yo
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of George Newbern?
Anyone who could correctly pronounce Kearny, Pierre, Arikara etc. etc. Having grown up a few miles from Fort Phil Kearny ( pronounced Car-nee) which is one of the main locations in the book, I found it very distracting to have it pronounced "Keer nee" hundreds of times in the narration. Pierre, South Dakota is pronounced "Peer" and Arikara is pronounced "uh-rih-kuh-rah". There were several more names and places mispronounced in the book.
Was The Heart of Everything That Is worth the listening time?
Very much so!
Any additional comments?
Narrators should check out pronunciations of names and places before reading!!!!

An Outstanding Lession in History
Would you listen to The Heart of Everything That Is again? Why?
Yes, I most certainly would because there is some much history about the American West.
What other book might you compare The Heart of Everything That Is to and why?
Crazy Horse. I was born in Nebraska and have always been interested in Indian History.
Have you listened to any of George Newbern’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I have not listened to George Newbern's before but he did a wonderful job and I would enjoy listening to him again.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes!
Any additional comments?
I am now a big fan of Audible books and plan on hearing more as time permits.
