Summary:
Crazy Horse, leader of the Oglala Sioux, and General George Armstrong Custer of the Seventh Calvary. were cultural opposites, but they led uncannily parallel lives. Born at the same time, they both became leaders at very early ages, were stripped of power, and in disgrace worked to earn back the respect of their people. Above all, Crazy Horse and Custer were men of supreme courage, natural-born leaders.
On the morning of 25 June 1876, the paths of these two great men collided in an epic battle on the banks of the Little Bighorn.
