Description

THE HEARTSONG OF CHARGING ELK -  2000 HARDCOVER BOOK WITH DUST COVER  NOVEL BY JAMES WELCH. FIRST EDITION.
Inspired by actual historical facts, this novel tells the story of an Oglala Sioux travels from tribal life in the Black Hills of South Dakota to the streets of Marseille. As a young boy, Charging Elk witnesses his people's massacre of Custer's Seventh Cavalry at Little Big Horn, followed by years of futile fighting and wandering until the Sioux were finally lured to the Pine Ridge Reservation. But he prefers life in the Stronghold, living by his wits and skills in the old way.
Ironically, it is Charging Elk's horsemanship and independent air that cause Buffalo Bill to recruit him for his Wild West Show, which creates a sensation in the capitals of Europe.
Very interesting reading.
