An extraordinary man of the American West- a man who lived, fought, and made his mark in both the Indian and White worlds. Born to COL William Bent and Owl Woman, he was raised Cheyenne, educated in White schools, fought for the Confederacy, became a Cheyenne Warrior, survived Sand Creek, became an interpreter and negotiator for Whites and Indians. He told ethnologists all they knew on Cheyenne life and never fit into either world until his death in 1918. A clean very presentable copy.
