Called to Justice
Early in his judicial career, U.S. District Judge Warren K.

The Dull Knifes of Pine Ridge
Joe Starita tells the triumphant and moving story of a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne family. In 1878, the renowned Chief Dull Knife, who fought alongside Crazy Horse, escaped from forced relocation in Indian Territory and led followers on a desperate six-hundred-mile freedom flight back to their homeland.

Starita updates the Dull Knife family history in his new afterword for this Bison Books edition.

And Roscoe Pound, a boy from Lincoln, went on to become one of the nat...
