bigboiseabear 's review for:

Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux by Black Elk

DID NOT FINISH

---

The copy I had included many footnotes citing The Sixth Grandfather, an unedited version of Neihardt's conversation with Black Elk. Almost every single time it cited the words Black Elk actually spoke they were much more interesting than whatever narrative Neihardt tries to spin in this book. DNF
