*Starred Review* When Sitting Bull was born in 1831, the Lakota were living mostly as they had for generations. Two weeks after his assassination, in 1890, the last free-roaming band of Lakota was defeated at the Battle of Wounded Knee and forced onto reservations. Told through a calm but doomed first-person narrative, this enthralling biography recounts the life of the great chief and warrior Sitting Bull and the defeat of his fellow Sioux, as well as, just as incredibly, his later years in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and shocking murder. Interspersed throughout the text are quotes from Sitting Bull and several U.S. military leaders, allowing readers to comprehend the events within a broader historical context. Nelson draws upon the Ledger Book Art tradition developed by Plains Indians in the late-nineteenth century to illustrate key moments in Sitting Bull's life. With an often shocking bluntness, heightened by a papery flatness, these colorful and dynamic drawings depict buffalo hunts, dances, and battles. A tragic true story told in powerfully subdued tones.
