Bill Yenne
Bill Yenne is the author of a half dozen novels, as well as numerous works of historical non-fiction. Among the latter are many on Western topics.
The New Yorker wrote of
Sitting Bull, his biography of the great Lakota leader, that it “excels as a study in leadership.”
The Wall Street Journal called his
Indian Wars: The Campaign for the American West “splendid” and went on to say that Mr. Yenne writes with “cinematic vividness.” His fiction work has been praised in
Publishers Weekly for its attention to realism. Mr. Yenne grew up in Western Montana where his father was a back country trail guide, and the National Park Service’s trails supervisor in Glacier National Park. He graduated from the University of Montana, and has traveled extensively throughout all of the western states. His travels have also taken him along the entire Lewis and Clark Trail. He has appeared in numerous documentaries, and was recently on camera at the Little Bighorn Battlefield for a television program on Sitting Bull.
Samenvatting
Sitting Bull's name is still the best known of any American Indian leader, but his life and legacy have been shrouded with misinformation and half-truths. Tracing Sitting Bull's history from a headstrong youth and his first contact with encroaching settlers, through his ascension as the spiritual and military leader of the Lakota, friendshipwith a Swiss-American widow from New York, and death at the hands of the Indian police on the eve of the massacre at Wounded Knee, Bill Yenne, in Sitting Bull, finds a man who, in the face of an uncertain future, helped ensure the survival of his people.
