Sitting Bull far from the hero/villain he’s painted as

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Author Bill Yenne dug deep to find the essence of Sitting Bull, the famous Lakota leader. What Yenne found instead of a caricatured fierce warrior was a complicated, even conflicted man who was as adept at driving a hard bargain as dispatching an enemy.
He attempts to convey the nuances of the Lakota holy man who is best known for his role in defeating Custer at Little Bighorn in 1876 in the just-published Sitting Bull.
Yenne, who grew up in Glacier National Park in Montana and knew many Native Americans as just “kids first and only secondarily as `Indians,’ ” is the author of several nonfiction books including “On the Trail of Lewis & Clark: Yesterday and Today.”
Sitting Bull, ISBN 9781594160608, is on sale now.
