Featured in this lot is this rare 1942 First Edition of “Crazy Horse Strange Man of the Oglalas”, written by Mari Sandoz and published by Alfred A. Knopf. Sandoz's classic biography of Crazy Horse, the military leader of the Oglala Sioux whose personal power and social nonconformity set him off as "strange," fought in many famous battles, including the one at the Little Bighorn. He held out boldly against the government's efforts to confine the Sioux on reservations. Finally, in the spring of 1877 he surrendered, one of the last important chiefs to do so, only to meet a violent death. This book "tells the story of that Indian leader's life as one of his fellow-tribesmen might have told it." Mari Sandoz, the noted author of Cheyenne Autumn and Old Jules, has captured the spirit of Crazy Horse with a strength and nobility befitting his heroism. This book features materials acquired and helped from by Nebraska State Historical Society, National Archives, Washington D.C., The Western History Department of the Denver Public Library, and more. The content includes archives and excerpts from experiences from before barbed wire came. Tan cloth bound cover and spine have blue & red stamped depictions, slight scuffing to cover edges, stains, and foxing. Top edge painting, deckled intact pages exhibit age tanning and foxing. No other obvious marring noted, measurement 5.75"W x 8.75"L x 1.75"D.
