Gall: Lakota War Chief Book
Called the "Fighting Cock of the Sioux" by U.S. soldiers, Gall was a great Hunkpapa Lakota chief who, along with Sitting Bull, resisted efforts by the U.S. government to annex the Black Hills. Enraged by the slaughter of his family, Gall led the charge across Medicine Tail Ford to attack Custer's main forces on the other side of the Little Bighorn. Robert W. Larson now sorts through contrasting views of Gall to determine the real character of this legendary Sioux. This first-ever scholarly biography also focuses on the actions Gall took during his final years on the reservation, unraveling his last fourteen years to better understand his previous forty. Tracing Gall's evolution from a fearless warrior to a representative of his people, Larson shows that Gall contended with shifting political and military conditions while remaining loyal to the interests of his tribe. This engaging biography offers new interpretations of the Little Bighorn that lay to rest the contention that Gall was "Custer's Conqueror." Gall: Lakota War Chief broadens our understanding of both the man and his people.Read More
