The Crazy Horse Chronicles are a fictionalized account of the life of Crazy Horse from his early childhood through his death in 1877.  These three volumes chronicle the last days of the Great Horse Culture and life in the American West as experienced by the Lakota.

Though many of the details are fictionalized, these books are based on extensive research and consultation with the Lakota people and closely follow the actual historical events.

The text is written in the style and meter of the language as if you are hearing the story first hand and is beautifully illustrated by Ken Mundie in a sketchbook-style that is reminiscent of the traveling artist/writers of the 18th and 19th centuries, giving the impression that he was present to capture the characters and events on paper as they were happening.

Together these two artisans tell the story of broken treaties, wars, hardship and disease. They also take the reader into the hearts of a proud people struggling to maintain their way of life against overwhelming odds.
