About this listen

 Seeking to round out the compelling story of the American West, best-selling Lakota author Joseph M. Marshall III brings a new slant to the traditional Western: historical fiction written from the Native American viewpoint.

This riveting story takes place during the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand, otherwise known as the Fetterman Massacre of 1866. The story is told alternately through the eyes of Cloud, a dedicated Lakota warrior who fights alongside a young Crazy Horse, and Max Hornsby, a white pioneer who mistakes Cloud's redheaded wife for a captive.

Beautifully written and reminiscent of the oral tradition, Hundred in the Hand brings new depth and dimension to the story of the battle and the Lakota people.

Critic reviews

"Marshall has tapped into an old form and infused it with a slightly different brand of knowledge to produce a swift, compelling read. Simply put, if you like Westerns, you'll love this one." ( Washington Post Book World)

The author is the narrator and his voice is something I could happily listen to all day. I think Mr.Marshall has the advantage of knowing what the Lakota know of these events and is worth so much more than what " white" people write about these events where the Sioux nation, Cheyenne's and other tribes made their last stand defence of their way of life. I'd highly recommend anything written by this author if you have any interest in the American West and maybe want the actual truth?.

Beautifully written and narrated. I have read and listened to many books about Native American Indians and found this book extremely moving. You can feel the values of the nation as they faced their fate for fighting for what was theirs.

There is grace, beauty and a steady rhythm in the narration of this amazing book. There are no wasted words, padding or over explaining. I use audible to listen to when doing mundane tasks but I found myself just stop and listening....

stunning!

Is this listed as fiction? Clearly an alternative view of the "wild" west (not exactly west!). I confess I am a fan of the author and enjoyed the telling of this story. The story gives insight into both "sides" views and reveals weaknesses as well as strengths. Get away from Ray Meers' How the Wild West was won ..... please.

Not for cowboys
