SANDOZ, MARI; SVOBODA, TERESE (INTRODUCTION). Capital City.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2007. New Bison Books Edition. s Softcover. Brand new book.
First published in the dark days immediately before World War II, Capital City is Mari Sandoz's angriest and most political novel. Like many important American novels of the 1930sÑJohn Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, Jack Conroy's The Disinherited, Robert Cantwell's Land of Plenty ÑCapital City depicts the troubles of working people trapped in the Great Depression. A unique portrayal of how the Depression affected the Great Plains, it examines the forces that bitterly contended for wealth and power. Sandoz researched the daily life and behind-the-scenes operations of several state capitals in the thirties before synthesizing them in this novel, which is part allegory, part indictment, part warning. Famous for her passionate writing, Sandoz imbued Capital City with the full measure of her outrage. Mari Sandoz (1896-1966) is one of Nebraska's foremost authors. She wrote twenty-three books about the High Plains region, including Crazy Horse, Cheyenne Autumn, and Old Jules, available in Bison Books editions. Terese Svoboda is the author of four novels, most recently Tin God (Nebraska 2006), and grew up on the edge of the Sandhills. "The violence in this new novel is almost unrelieved by any sweetness or light. . . . This novel is strong meat; not at all for the squeamish."ÑSaturday Review of Literature

SANDOZ, MARI; DELORIA, JR., VINE (INTRODUCTION). Crazy Horse: The Strange Man Of The Oglalas, A Biography.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2008. Third Edition. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Crazy Horse, the legendary military leader of the Oglala Sioux whose personal power and social nonconformity contributed to his reputation as being "strange," fought in many famous battles, including the Little Bighorn, and held out tirelessly against the U.S. government's efforts to confine the Lakotas to reservations. Finally, in the spring of 1877 he surrendered, only to meet a violent death. More than a century later Crazy Horse continues to hold a special place in the hearts and minds of his people. Mari Sandoz offers a powerful evocation of the long-ago world and enduring spirit of Crazy Horse. Chosen as a 2007 One Book, One Nebraska selection, this edition of Crazy Horse includes discussion questions and a comprehensive glossary to enhance the reader's experience with this classic Sandoz text. Mari Sandoz (1896-1966) is the noted author of Cheyenne Autumn, Old Jules, and The Battle of the Little Bighorn (all available in Bison Books editions). Vine Deloria, Jr. (1933-2005) is the author of many books, including Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto and Red Earth, White Lies: Native Americans and the Myth of Scientific Fact. "Here is a glorious hero tale told with beauty and power . . . the story of a great American."ÑJohn G. Neihardt, New York Times "[One] of the great stories of the West, and written . . . in the spirit of the sages, with a scrupulous regard for truth and history."ÑAtlantic Monthly "This history of the Oglala Indian Crazy Horse is a splendidly done thing. [Sandoz] gives a magnificent picture of the Plains Indian civilization."ÑWashington Star The urge to shape political policy and attitudes by capturing an aura of her subjects is best exemplified by Sandoz's passionate intensity in the writing of the book Crazy Horse." ÑMary Dixon, Great Plains Quarterly "This book is an unflinching eye opener to the barbarism perpetrated against the Lakota, and the recompense (or rather lack of it) that ensued."ÑByron Peterson, Nebraska Report

SANDOZ, MARI. Love Song To The Plains.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 1966. 0803251726 / 9780803251724 Seventh Bison Books Printing. s Softcover. Good condition.
A lyric salute to the earth and sky and people who made the history of the Great Plains by the region's incomparabl historian, Mari Sandoz. It is a story of men and women of many hues - courageous, violent, indomitable, foolish - their legnds, failures, and achievements: of explorers and fur trappers and missionaries; of soldiers and army posts and Indian fighting; of California-bound emigrants who stopped off to become settlers; of cattlemen and bad men, boomers and land speculators, and their feuds and rivalries. Above all, this is a portrait of the true Plainsman, the man or woman who can stand to have the horizon far off and every day, every year, a gamble. Includes an Index.

SANDOZ, MARI; HASSELSTROM, LINDA M. (INTRODUCTION). Old Jules.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2005. 0803293240 / 9780803293243 Bison Books Edition. s Softcover. Brand new book.
First published in 1935, Old Jules is unquestionably Mari Sandoz's masterpiece. This portrait of her pioneer father grew out of 'the silent hours of listening behind the stove or the wood box, when it was assumed, of course, that I was asleep in bed. So it was that I heard the accounts of the hunts, . . .of the fights with the cattlemen and the sheep-men, of the tragic scarcity of women, when a man had to 'marry anything that got off the train,' of the droughts, the storms, the wind and isolation. But the most impressive stories were those told me by Old Jules himself.'" "A realistic biography, a rare find. On putting down this book one feels that one has read the history of all pioneering."ÑRobert Van Gelder, - New York Times Book Review - "An amazing portrait. Mari Sandoz has written the truth. And she has given it to us as if she had cut it, like a sod, from the live ground."ÑStephen Vincent BenŽt, New York Herald Tribune Books "It is a magnificent job. The great virtue of Miss Sandoz's book is that you can see it happening. There is a good deal of America in Old Jules. It is, heaven knows, an enthralling story. But it is more than that, and much deeper. It is an experience in citizenship."ÑBernard DeVoto, Saturday Review of Literature

SANDOZ, MARI. The Battle Of The Little Bighorn.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 1978. 0803291000 / 9780803291003 s Softcover. Brand new book.
Mari Sandoz's account of the battle in which General George Armstrong Custer staked his lifeÑand lostÑreveals on every page the author's intimate knowledge of her subject. The character of the Sioux, the personality of Custer, the mixed emotions of Custer's men, the Plains landscapeÑall emerge with such clarity that the reader is transported in time to that spring of 1876, when the Army of the Plains began its fateful march toward the Yellowstone. The background of the tragedy is here: the history of bad blood and broken treaties between the Sioux Nation and the United States, the underlying reason for Custer's expedition and for the convocation of Indians on the Little Bighorn that particular year. The author's analysis of Custer's motives and political ambitions sheds new light on an old mystery and will be hotly disputed by the general's admirers.

SANDOZ, MARI; PUNKE, MICHAEL (INTRODUCTION). The Buffalo Hunters: The Story Of The Hide Men, Second Edition.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2008. Second Edition. s Softcover. Brand new book.
In 1867 conservative estimates put the number of buffaloes in the trans-Missouri region at fifteen million. By the end of the 1880s, that figure had dwindled to a few hundred. The destruction of the great herds is the theme of The Buffalo Hunters. Mari Sandoz's vast canvas is charged with color and excitementÑaccounts of Indian ambushes, hairbreadth escapes, gambling and gunfights, military expeditions, and famous frontier characters such as Wild Bill Hickok, Lonesome Charlie Reynolds, Buffalo Bill, Sheridan, Custer, and Indian chiefs Whistler, Yellow Wolf, Spotted Tail, and Sitting Bull. Mari Sandoz (1896-1966) is the noted author of Cheyenne Autumn, Old Jules, and The Battle of the Little Bighorn, all available in Bison Books editions. Michael Punke is the author of several books, including Last Stand: George Bird Grinnell, the Battle to Save the Buffalo, and the Birth of the New West and Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917. "The fate of the Plains Region was inextricably bound up with the fate of the buffalo; they fell together. This is the story Miss Sandoz has to tell, and she tells it beautifully, forcefully, epically."ÑNew York Times "Miss Sandoz knows the West, and whether she is presenting the beauty of the land, the excitement of the hunt, or the tension of an Indian raid, she does it Ñ not sensationally Ñwith authority and vigor."ÑLibrary Journal

SANDOZ, MARI. The Horsecatcher.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 1986. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Praised for swift action and beauty of language, The Horsecatcher is Mari Sandoz's first novel about the Indians she knew so well. Without ever leaving the world of a Cheyenne tribe in the 1830s, she creates a youthful protagonist many readers will recognize in themselves. Young Elk is expected to be a warrior, but killing even an enemy sickens him. He would rather catch and tame the mustangs that run in herds. Sandoz makes it clear that his determination to be a horsecatcher will require a moral and physical courage equal to that of any warrior. And if he must earn the right to live as he wishes, he must also draw closer to family and community.
