Robert W. Larson contributes a well researched and comprehensive study of this prominent Hunkpapa Lakota warrior and leader whose story has long been worthy of a biography. Larson includes two chapters on Gall's early years, but the majority of the book—eight of fourteen chapters—focuses on Gall's and Hunkpapa military engagements with the U. S. Army from 1862 to 1881 (including two chapters on the 1877–1881 Canadian exile). The remaining four chapters encompass Gall's life on the Standing Rock Reservation, until his death in 1894. |
