Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions by John Lame Deer

Storyteller, 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 of the Lakota tribe. The story he tells is one of harsh youth and reckless manhood, shotgun marriage and divorce, history and folklore as rich today as ever - and of his fierce struggle to keep pride alive, though living as a stranger in his own ancestral land.

Richard Erdoes has written over twenty-one novels, including Lame Deer: Seeker of Visions and American Indian Myths and Tales. He has contributed to several magazines, including the New York Times, Time, Life, Fortune, Smithsonian, and the Saturday Evening Post, as an Austrian-born historian, ethnographer, and artist. He currently resides in New Mexico.
