| Just one year after
The War of the Mormon Cow Curly and Little Mouse are again caught up in
the horrors of war as General Harney leads an overwhelming force, to
"chastise the Indian."
Through luck and heroic venture our heroes survive and grow to maturity against the backdrop of conflicts history dubs the "Indian Wars." Curly becomes Crazy Horse and Little Mouse becomes Black Robe Woman. Crazy Horse earns his name through glory in battle. Black Robe Woman takes her name
as a symbol of heartbreak and suffering. She was a real person, as was
Crazy Horse, and they were very much in love throughout their lives. It
was destined to be a star-crossed love for they were faced with
jealousies of clans and families and the struggle for prestige and
power. Whether found in Shakespearean tragedy or Lakota villages,
youthful love often suffers and falters under the rigors of societal
pressures. |
