This classic work is an oral history of the Cheyenne Indians from
legendary times to the early reservation years, a collaborative
effort by the Cheyenne tribal historian, John Stands in Timber, and
anthropologist Margot Liberty. Published in 1967, the book now has
an updated bibliography and a new preface by Liberty, in which she
shares her recollections of Stands in Timber and describes the
circumstances of the Cheyenne over the past thirty years. Stands in
Timber was born in 1882, a few years after his grandfather was
killed in the Custer battle. In this book he recounts tribal myths
and sacred rituals, conflict with traditional enemies and whites,
and eventual “civilization” and settlement on a
reservation. The retelling of Cheyenne traditions formed an
important part of Stands in Timber’s life from early childhood,
and on his return from school in 1905 he became the primary keeper
of the oral literature of his people, seeking out every elder who
could contribute personal memories to Cheyenne lore. In 1956 he met
Margot Liberty, then an Indian Affairs Bureau teacher, who
helped him tape-record more than thirty hours of recollections.
From these she compiled this unique and lively folk history, one
based on a longtime inside view that can never be duplicated.
“This is an extraordinarily fascinating book, . . . a book
that all Americans, Indians as well as non-Indians, will
treasure.”—Alvin M. Josephy, Jr.
