Some treasured stories to be sure. The description of Crazy Horse dying is referenced in more than a few history books and is the definitive version from the mouth of the man who was at his side shortly before death found him. Wheeler speaks highly of Indians from a time when white men had very little use for them. His personal experience as written in this book is invaluable to western history.
