The hard-working ranch father loved his son but also lived by a realist unlike his son, “Last chance son, you had better pick a horse that you have some hope of riding one day” (Harrison 500). Kenneth’s mother Nell was very supportive to her son’s dreams and hopes of owning a colt. An author of New York times Rebecca Mead states, “We see private bedroom conversations between Rob and Nell, in which the mother, who recognizes her son’s dreaminess as an admirable sensitivity, not as an irritating handicap, challenges her stubborn husband’s rulings”. This support for her son is shown when the little filly is injured and Ken’s mother makes a poultice for the injury every

He spent much of his life taking care of his tribe and all Native Americans. Sitting Bull is the greatest Sioux chief and one of the greatest Native American chiefs ever.

The distinctions between Crazy Horse and General George Armstrong Custer are discussed throughout historical works in depth. The main idea that separates the two men is the perspective that they are viewed though. Historical scholarship and other work uses the battle of the Little Bighorn as a uniting factor of the two men, but little more thought or work is given to the matter of the men, mainly due to prejudice views of that time as well as present day.

Dirt cakes the face that used to smile, that now only looks ahead with sightless eyes. The ground has repossessed its child. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. It yields up the skull unwillingly as I pry it out. I hold it in my hands, and it grins emptily. “Someday, you’ll be just like me,” it jeers.
