I found it really interesting to read this book, to get to experience the American history, happenings and the West through the Lakota Native American's perspective.

We get to follow Cloud, a Young Lakota warrior and his and his comrades experiences with the White Americans, or the Long Knives. We get to meet Young warriors, shamans and the well known Lakota warrior leader Crazy Horse.

I listened to this book and greatly appreciated that it was the authour himself Reading Cloud's parts of the book. Having it read by the author makes the story come to alive even more, as Marshall III knows how to read his own work, with pace, breaks, tones etcetera. His dialect made the story even more alive. I also liked that when we got to follow the American Soldier that it was read differently (by someone else than the author, I didn't pick up on that) and with heavy accent as well.

Maybe the book deserves more closer to a 4, but it took me a while to get through it.

Joseph M. Marshall III narrates the story of the "Battle of the Hundred" which took place in 1866 but told from the perspective of the Lakota.
