What'cha readin'... book?

[Griff]

Just finished Crazy Horse and Custer by Stephan Ambrose. Its a really good read and I think he does a great job of putting the reader in heads of both men. There is more sympathy for Crazy Horse but lets face it he's a more sympathetic figure. Sometimes I think of the Indian Wars as being pretty far back in history but some of the folks in this book were still alive when the depression hit. If you were a little kid when Crazy Horse was killed you could have lived through the SA War, WWI, II, Korea and maybe even Vietnam. The guys involved with AIM were not that far removed from the wars and that history was pretty real for them. It might be time to read up on that... Although I just started a book on Josiah Harlan, you know the PA Quaker who took over Afghanistan back in the day.
