Crazy Horse

One Lakota warrior stands between an invading army and the sacred Black Hills.

As the whites push westward, leaving in their wake a trail of broken treaties and violence, it is up to Crazy Horse to face off with the white leader George Armstrong Custer.

To defend the sacred Black Hills, he relies on a boyhood vision that promised protection in battle so long as he took nothing for himself. While wagon trains carve roads across the hunting grounds, scattering the buffalo herds, he fights to shield the Lakota camps from disaster.

From the Powder River to the bluffs above the Rosebud, military columns press deep into Lakota territory. When bluecoats march into the valleys, demanding surrender from the chiefs, the young war leader rallies his warriors to hold their ground.
