The Last Days of Sitting Bull: Sioux Medicine Chief

Sitting Bull was a fascinating, but controversial figure in the political history of relationships between the First Nations and the U.S. Government. Author Usher L. Burdick illuminates the human factor in the tragic events leading up to the death of Sitting Bull and the aftermath at Wounded Knee, building from the correspondence and papers of Indian Agent James McLaughlin. The late Congressman Usher L. Burdick (1879-1960) first published "The Last Days of Sitting Bull" in 1941.
