Legends cloud the life of Crazy Horse, a seminal figure of American history but an enigma even to his own people in his own day. Crazy Horse strips away the tall tales to reveal the essence of this brilliant, ascetic warrior-hero. In a portrait that only he could render, Larry McMurtry captures the poignant passing of a time and offers a vibrant new understanding of the mythic Crazy Horse and what he stood for.
