Most of the world remembers Crazy Horse as a peerless warrior who brought the U.S. Army to its knees at the Battle of Little Bighorn.

Publisher's Summary
As a young child, Herman Lehmann was captured by a band of plundering Apache Indians and remained with them for nine years. This is his dramatic and unique story.
His memoir, fast-paced and compelling, tells of his arduous initial years with the Apache as he underwent a sometimes torturous initiation into Indian life. Peppered with various escape attempts, Lehmann's recollections are fresh and exciting in spite of the years past.
Lehmann provides us with a fascinating look at Apache, and later, Comanche culture. He tells of their rituals and medicinal practices and gives an insight into Native American manufacture of arrowheads, saddles, and shields.
After a few years, Lehmann became completely integrated into the warrior life, joining in on raids throughout the Southwest and Mexico. Nine Years Among the Indians tells of violent clashes with white rangers and other Native American tribes, scalpings, and the violence of life in 19th-century Western America.

Excellent story.
Excellent & fascinating story & well written. Demonstrates that all humans can be so incredibly kind but also have the propensity to kill steal & seek vengeance no matter colour race or creed.
Must read.

Fascinating true story
Well written and interesting biography. Provides insight into a period of historical significance for the Indian nations. The remarkable story of a young boy who comes of age in the most harsh and dangerous circumstances imaginable. The story telling is honest and flows, you can easily picture each scene. There is an easy balance between what was happening (frequently hair raising) and what he was thinking and feeling. Narrator very good.
