Plenty-coups by Frank B Linderman
In his old age, Plenty-coups (1848-1932), the last hereditary chief of the Crow Indians, told the exciting, moving story of his life to Frank B Linderman, the well-known western writer who had befriended him. This title offers an account of the nomadic, spiritual, and warring life of Plains Indians before they were forced on to reservations.
"All my life I have tried to learn as the Chickadee learns, by listening,—profiting by the mistakes of others, that I might help my people. . . My whole thought is of my people. I want them to be healthy, to become again the race they have been."—Plenty Coups
