The remarkable, celebrated biography of an Oglala Sioux spiritual leader (1863-1950), as recorded by John Neihardt. In 1931 Neihardt traveled to Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota to interview Lakota elders who had witnessed the Ghost Dance and the Wounded Knee Massacre. He met Black Elk, and their two weeks together became this powerful memoir. This Bison Books edition includes all three of Neihardt's prefaces, a map, Lakota glossary, and the original color paintings by Lakota artist Standing Bear.  (SWU133, $14.95)
