"Which Native American leader left the most lasting legacy, Geronimo or Sitting Bull? Most Americans and many people worldwide have heard these two famous names. Today, however, the general public knows little about the lives of these great leaders. During the second half of the nineteenth century when they opposed white intrusion and expansion into their territories, just the mention of their names could spark fear or anger.

Author Bill Markley offers a thoughtful and entertaining examination of these legendary lives in this new joint biography of these two great leaders"--Provided by publisher.
