Learn moreThe second novel in Joseph M. Marshall III’s acclaimed Lakota Western series begins in 1875, as Sitting Bull gathers thousands of Lakota to face the growing problem of white incursion.
What follows is a sweeping tale of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, including the days and weeks leading up to the conflict and the remarkable defeat of General George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry.
Told for the first time from the Native perspective through the eyes of Lakota warrior Cloud, the story also weaves in the lesser-known but strategically important Battle of the Rosebud and the uncertain future that faced the Lakota following victory.
Once again, Marshall infuses the story with his unique voice and eye for detail, creating a page-turning Western with a style of its own.
Joseph M. Marshall III was born and raised on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota and holds a PhD from the reservation university, which he helped to establish. He is the award-winning author of ten books, and in 2023 was awarded the Owen Wister Award from the Western Writers of American. He has also won a “Nammy” Award, an AudioFile Earphones Award, and the prestigious Audie Award for Best Narration. He was named Best American Indian Fiction Writer by True West magazine in 2009. He has contributed to various publications and written several screenplays. His first language is Lakota, he handcrafts primitive Lakota bows and arrows, and he is a specialist in wilderness survival. His work as a cultural and historical consultant can be seen and heard on Turner Network Television and the Dreamworks epic television miniseries “Into the West.”
