Reviews
"Two Leggings . . . was one of the last Crow Warriors. From 1919 to 1923 he told his story of Crow life and wars to William Wildschut, an ethnologist with the Museum of the American Indian . . . . This is the poignant story of the end of traditional Crow life and attitudes, which Two Leggings saw ending with the last warfare rather than the death of the buffalo."-Pacific Historian, "This is a rare piece of Americana-a first-person account of the psychological, religious, and social life of a nineteenth century Indian. The dramatic recital is a real contribution to our native biography, history, and ethnology, and an important treatise in a fascinating but curiously neglected field."-Baltimore Sun, "Two Leggings . . . was one of the last Crow Warriors.

He takes us along on buffalo hunts, war parties against the Piegans, and horse stealing raids against the Piegans and Sioux.

He relates the religious relationship between vision fasts, medicine bundles, and a war raid's outcome, sun dances in which performers pierced their breast muscles with wooden skewers, and wife stealing between rival warrior societies. . . . It is a remarkable story.""-- Chicago Tribune ""This is a rare piece of Americana--a first-person account of the psychological, religious, and social life of a nineteenth century Indian.
