Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions - Richard Erdoes

\nEnriched Classics offer readers accessible editions of great works of literature enhanced by helpful notes and commentary. Each book includes educational tools alongside the text, enabling students and readers alike to gain a deeper and more developed understanding of the writer and their work. \nStoryteller, rebel, medicine man, Lame Deer was born almost a century ago on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A full-blooded Sioux, he was many things in the white man's world--rodeo clown, painter, prisoner. But, above all, he was a holy man. Lame Deer's story is one of a harsh youth and reckless manhood, a shotgun marriage and divorce, a history and folklore as rich today as when first published--and of his fierce struggle to keep his pride intact, living as a stranger in his own ancestral land.\n
