"At long last a writing about my Great, Great Grandfather by an Oglala author. As a warrior himself, McGaa has walked in their shadows and is well qualified to write on Red Cloud and Crazy Horse. He has utilized a wealth of oral history known by very few non-Oglalas. Eagle Man has accomplished a masterful task of dispelling so many false myths stirred by sensational seeking writers simply by gathering fact from our tribe's oral history acquired back when many front line warriors were yet living. He pays truthful tribute to our ancestors; two of our greatest Indian leaders of all time." -- Lula Red Cloud, from the rear outer cover. "From the author of Mother Earth Spirituality - Ed McGaa, Eagle Man. Crazy Horse and Chief Red Cloud includes a gathering of old time warrior and relative portrayals originally in Lakota reflecting upon Sioux culture and two great men of the same tribe. Early writers did not speak the native language and hence could not interview in the native tongue nor did they seek any concepts or knowledge of the Sioux spirtuality. Too many of these writers have errantly attempted to create a rivalry and animostiy between the two and hence downgraded and diluted the magnificent Sioux culture, its rich history and great leaders such a culture could produce. This book will also focus on early history and religion as well, for it is the core from where these great men were shaped." -- from the rear outer cover.
