Indian Heroes And Great Chieftains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162668079)

""Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains"" is a book written by Charles Eastman, a Native American author and physician who was born in the mid-19th century. The book is a collection of biographical sketches of notable Native American leaders and warriors, including Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, and Crazy Horse. Eastman draws upon his own experiences growing up in a Sioux tribe to provide insight into the lives and cultures of these important figures. The book offers a unique perspective on Native American history and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about this often-overlooked aspect of American history. The book is written in English and is accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds.IT is not easy to characterize Sitting Bull, of all Sioux chiefs most generally known to the American people. There are few to whom his name is not familiar, and still fewer who have learned to connect it with anything more than the conventional notion of a bloodthirsty savage. The man was an enigma at best. He was not impulsive, nor was he phlegmatic. He was most serious when he seemed to be jocose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
