Sitting Bull (c. 18311890) was one of the greatest Lakota/Sioux warriors and chiefs who ever lived. From Sitting Bulls childhoodkilling his first buffalo at age 10 to being named war chief, to leading his people against the U.S. Army, Sitting Bull: Lakota Warrior and Defender of His People brings the story of the great chief to life. Sitting Bull was instrumental in the war against the invasive wasichus (white men) and was at the forefront of the combat, including the Battles of Killdeer Mountain and the Little Bighorn. He and Crazy Horse were the last Lakota/Sioux to surrender their people to the U.S. government and submit to living on a reservation. Celebrated author and illustrator S. D. Nelson intersperses archival images with his own artwork, inspired by the ledger-art drawings of the nineteenth century Lakota. Through the art and riveting story, Nelson conveys how Sitting Bull clung to his belief that the Lakota were a free people meant to live, hunt, and die on the Great Plains. (Hardcover, 56 pages)
