Fools Crow

I have read several books concerning Native American Holy Men. This is one of the best I have read. The book describes his life, vision and work. It is easy to read, very informative and makes me wish I could meet Fools Crow. Be sure to put this on your reading list.

I'm in the process of reading this book. It arrived very timely and in very good condition. I'm pleased with the service and promptness.

Biographical telling of Fools Crow life

This book is the counterpoint to Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power. It is more a retelling of his life story, there is less description of his worldview which is more the focus of Wisdom and Power. One feels reading this that he could have gone on and on about the politics at the reservation, he doesn't and for me seeing how he expresses his views about this situation while keeping a gentle ad moderate tone is quite revealing of his personality. There is a fascinating account of his exerience at Bear Butte, which is the highlight of the book.
