Summary
Drawing on firsthand research and his culture's rich oral tradition (rarely shared outside the Native American community), Marshall reveals many aspects of Crazy Horse's life, including details of the powerful vision that convinced him of his duty to help preserve the Lakota homeland, a vision that changed the course of Crazy Horse's life and spurred him confidently into battle time and time again.
The Journey of Crazy Horse is the true story of how one man's fight for his people's survival roused his true genius as a strategist, commander, and trusted leader. And it is an unforgettable portrayal of a revered human being and a profound celebration of a culture, a community, and an enduring way of life.

"Marshall does a good job of bringing Crazy Horse to life by examining all his milestones....A highly readable, as-accurate-as-the-record-allows study of the nineteenth-century's best-known Lakota chief." ( Booklist)

amazing listen, not least because of the narration
I'm not a reader, unless of course its stuff I find i need to explore after emerging form a rabbit hole.. Recently though I discovered the world of the audible. This book is part of a series written AND narrated by Joseph Marshall III. Its a stunning piece if work that tracks the story of Crazy Horse from a child when his name was Light Hair, to his premature death. Crazy Horse was a Thunder being, as such his life belonged to the people. An excellent tactician, leader and accomplished warrior, he was a man of massive humility who suffered much loss in his short life. Joesph Marshall III is himself Lakota who grew up with the stories of the old ways. Like many indigenous cultures their history is passed down through the generations via story telling as such this is probably the most accurate take on who Crazy Horse was ever put into print. The author reads with heart and a confidence in his knowledge, further being Lakota, his voice, his dialect and personal insights made this listen a very enjoyable experience.

Brilliant
I loved this book. Touching, insightful and entertaining. Gives a glimpse of a sadly gone way of life through lessons handed down over many years via word of mouth.

A very important book of truth
This is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure to listen to on audible, I would like to thank Joseph M Marshall III for this beautiful book. The story has presented the truth and help preserve the deeds of a great honorable leader who was not driven by a lust for power or material gain, but to do what was right to try and save the way of life for his people. There are very few who walk this earth who cannot be bought and stay true to their sole purpose., Crazy Horse to me will always be a very special being who forefilled his destiny.

Incredible story and narrator
This audiobook blew me away. Would recommend to anyone. The author's narration is perfect - almost an extension of the old oral tradition. I can't imagine reading this as a text. This is profound, moving and troubling. As a UK reader/listener, the legend of Crazy Horse is perhaps not so familiar, but this deserves to make it so. I will try some of the authors other audiobooks too, on the strength of this.
