Summary

Seeking to round out the compelling story of the American West, bestselling Lakota author Joseph M. Marshall III brings a new slant to the traditional Western: historical fiction written from the Native American viewpoint.

This riveting novel takes place during the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand, otherwise known as the Fetterman Massacre of 1866. The story is told alternately through the eyes of Cloud, a dedicated Lakota warrior who fights alongside a young Crazy Horse, and Max Hornsby, a white pioneer who mistakes Cloud’s redheaded wife for a captive.

Beautifully written and reminiscent of the oral tradition, Hundred in the Hand brings new depth and dimension to the story of the battle and the Lakota people.

Critic Reviews

“Readers who love to hear a harness creak or the whistle of an arrow or love to see snow snake across a drifted valley floor will revel in Marshall’s West…If you like Westerns, you’ll love this one.”

(Washington Post Book World)

“Marshall reads the passages told from the Lakota viewpoint…[and] John Terry reads the passages about the settlers…The two voices combine to show the story’s shifts in perspective well…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

loved this and all of the Authors books so far.
insightful sad hash reality of what occurred.
I am not Lakota, but in my heart they have found a special place. I will stand on the mountain with the wind in my face, and I will think of them.
