title: Sitting Bull: The Life and Times of an American Patriot
author: Robert M. Utley
description: "His narrative is griping....Mr. Utley transforms Sitting Bull, the abstract, romanticized icon and symbol, into a flesh-and-blood person with a down-to-earth story....THE LANCE AND THE SHIELD clears the screen of the exaggerations and fantasies long directed at the name of Sitting Bull."<br />THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW<br />Reviled by the United States government as a troublemaker and a coward, revered by his people as a great warrior chief, Sitting Bull has long been one of the most fascinating and misunderstood figures in American history. Now, distinguished historian Robert M. Utley has forged a compelling new portrait of Sitting Bull, viewing the man from the Lakota perspective for the very first time to render the most unbiased and historically accurate biography of Sitting Buil to date.<br />WINNER OF THE SPUR AWARD FOR BEST WESTERN NONFICTION <br />HISTORICAL BOOK OF 1993<br />A MAIN SELECTIN OF THE HISTORY BOOK CLUB<br />A FEATURED ALTERNATE SELECTION OF THE QUALITY PAPERBACK BOOK<br />CLUB
