Sitting Bull

The Life and Times of an American Patriot

About this book

"Gripping. . . . transforms Sitting Bull, the abstract, romanticized icon and symbol, into a flesh-and-blood person with a down-to-earth story." — The New York Times Book Review
Winner, Spur Award for Best Western Nonfiction Historical Book
A New York Times Notable Book
Reviled by the United States government as a troublemaker and a coward, revered by his people as a great warrior chief, Sitting Bull has long been one of the most fascinating and misunderstood figures in American history. Distinguished historian Robert M. Utley has forged a compelling portrait of Sitting Bull, presenting the Lakota perspective for the first time and rendering the most unbiased, historically accurate, and vivid portrait of the man to date.
The Sitting Bull who emerges in this fast-paced narrative is a complex, towering figure: a great warrior whose skill and bravery in battle were unparalleled; the spiritual leader of his people; a dignified but ultimately tragically stubborn defender of the traditional ways against the steadfast and unwelcome encroachment of the white man.
"A definitive biography of this Native American warrior and tribe leader." — Publishers Weekly
"Compelling reading." — The Washington Post Book World
Originally published as The Lance and the Shield: The Life and Times of Sitting Bull
