Clean, tight, unmarked; a few check marks pencilled in the margins; otherwise very minimal wear; One of the most powerful of the religious sects adopted by the American Indian in the late 1880s was the Ghost Dance, which assumed strongly militant aspects among the Teton Sioux. The story of the Sioux - what they were like when they first came to their reservation, how the life that the whites prepared for them ran counter to their needs, and how their reaction to the new system eventually led to the last confrontation of the Army and the Sioux at the highly controversial Battle of Wounded Knee Creek - is explained in this fascinating account.
