It is clear that the author's sympathies are with Crazy Horse and the Native Americans, as a reading of the source material indicates a majority of the sources for the narrative are from Native American sources.
I think that if this book were published today it would find a wide audience, due to its depiction of the Indian side the story of the Sioux Wars. It was panned by critics when it was published, my guess is, because it was not done in the accepted writing style of the time.
It was published in 1942 from source material collected in the 1920's and 30's by the Nebraska Sand Hills native author Mari Sandoz and a friend of hers. This biography of the Oglala Sioux known as Crazy Horse is a biography ahead of its time.
