Eventually, in the spring of 1877, he surrendered to military forces and ended up meeting a violent death.Now, nearly a century and a half later, Crazy Horse continues to hold a special place in the hearts and minds of people. Author Mari Sandoz offers a powerful evocation of the indigenous people of this long-ago world, of the life of Crazy Horse, and of the man's enduring spirit.
