TURN THE STARS UPSIDE DOWN
Terry Johnston
For more than a decade one man struck fear in the hearts of U.S. soldiers on the frontier: Crazy horse, the great Oglala Sioux leader, who destroyed Custer at Little Big Horn, fought Crook toe-to-toe at the Rosebud, and outwitted and outran the Cavalry across the windswept plains where as a child he had played. Now, on a cloudless day in May, the legendary warrior rode toward the soldiers who had been his enemy for so long. In 1877, Crazy horse surrendered to a young lieutenant, and tale of betrayal and murder began.
In this powerful, moving account of the last days of Crazy Horse, Terry C. Johnson weaves a saga of warriors, lovers, peacemakers, traitors, war, and suffering among the innocents on both sides. Most of all, this is the story of one man--a mystic, a fighter, a father and husband--whose last journey was as fateful and dramatic as a life lived without surrender.

LAY THE MOUNTAINS LOW
One man struck fear in the hearts of U.S. soldiers on the frontier like no other:
Crazy Horse, the great Oglala Sioux leader who destroyed Custer at Little Big Horn, fought Crook toe-to-toe at the Rosebud, and outwitted and outran the Cavalry across the windswept plains of his youth. Then, in 1877, with his surrender to a young lieutenant, a new tale of heroism and betrayal would begin. This is the epic story of the last days of Crazy Horse--a man whose name will forever be cloaked in legend.
"Rich and fascinating...There is a genuine flavor of the period and of the men who made it what it was."--Washington Post Book World
