With his own words and images, Joseph White Bull tells of his
memorable life and exploits as a Lakota warrior in the late
nineteenth century. The son of a Miniconjou chief and nephew of
Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapas, White Bull was an accomplished
warrior. He participated in the Fetterman and Wagon-Box fights, and
fought at the Little Big Horn, contending that he was the warrior
who killed Custer.
Many years later, White Bull was persuaded to recount the
outstanding events of his life. The result is this remarkable
autobiography, consisting of text and drawings. In addition to
relating White Bull's accomplishments in war, the narrative
includes events from his youth, details of Lakota culture, and an
extended Lakota winter count.
This bilingual edition, originally published as "The Warrior Who
Killed Custer" (Nebraska 1968), features White Bull's story in its
original Lakota, his drawings, and an English translation. The
manuscript was translated and edited by James H. Howard, author of
"The Canadian Sioux" (Nebraska 1984) and "The Ponca Tribe"
(Nebraska 1995).
