1. Wooden Leg
A vivid first-person memoir by a Cheyenne warrior that traces his life from boyhood on the Plains—hunting, ceremonies, and the social rhythms of his people—through the violent clashes with the expanding United States, recounting campaigns and battles of the 1860s–1870s including the fight against Custer, and concluding with the hardships of life on the reservation and the cultural losses and adjustments that followed.
