In his old age, Plenty-coups (1848-1932), the last hereditary chief
of the Crow Indians, told the moving story of his life to Frank B.
Linderman, the well-known western writer who had befriended him.
Plenty-coups is a classic account of the nomadic, spiritual, and
warring life of Plains Indians before they were forced onto
reservations. Plenty-coups tells of the great triumphs and
struggles of his own life: his powerful medicine dreams, marriage,
raiding and counting coups against the Lakotas, fighting alongside
the U.S. Army, and the death of General Custer.
This new edition allows readers to appreciate more fully the
accomplishments and rich legacy of Plenty-coups. A previously
unpublished essay by Linderman tells of his meeting and working
with the chief. An introduction by Phenocia Bauerle and Barney Old
Coyote Jr., both members of the Crow Nation, speaks to the enduring
importance of Plenty-coups for the Crow people in the twenty-first
century; an afterword by Timothy P. McCleary, also of the Crow
Nation, highlights the pivotal role Plenty-coups played during the
early reservation years after the buffalo had gone; an essay by
Celeste River examines the special relationship between the old
chief and Linderman; a map of Plenty-coups's world highlights
places named in the story; a glossary of Crow words and concepts
found in the story draws upon the latest orthographic standards and
contemporary translation; and a photo gallery showcases both
Plenty-coups at different stages of his life and unforgettable
scenes of his world.
