Frank Fools Crow, a spiritual and civic leader of the Teton Sioux, spent nearly a century helping those of every race. This book, based on interviews conducted in the 1970s, talks about his eventful life, from the days when the Sioux were learning to farm to later times when alcoholism, the cash economy, and WWII were fast eroding the old customs.

Thomas E. Mails is also the author of "Mystic Warriors of the Plains" (1972) and "Sun Dancing at Pine Ridge and Rosebud" (1978). His art has been exhibited throughout the West.
