The People's Warrior is a reprint of a novel named Journey of the Spirit by John Foxjohn. The book is the epic tale of Crazy Horse, arguably one of the greatest military leaders this country has ever produced, and his battle to save his people's way of life.
Many historians refer to Crazy Horse's people as Sioux. However, they called themselves Lakota--a word meaning "the people": hence the title of the book.
John Jumps, a Lakota himself, said after reading the book, "If you don't like this book, you don't have a soul."
John Foxjohn, who many believe is the greatest living authority on Crazy Horse, wrote the novel through the eyes of a fictional character, much the way Ester Forbes did with her great novel, Johnny Tremain.
Seldom has a book, especially one of this magnitude, been written through the eyes of the Indians. The reason is simple: it takes someone with an intimate knowledge of the customs, religion, and language to pull it off.
John Jumps also said, "No one but John Foxjohn could have pulled this off. He told all the good and the bad, but didn't take away the Lakota dignity."
Finally, John Foxjohn says, "The People's Warrior was the first book I ever wrote. I attempted to write it so everyone, man, woman, and child could enjoy it. When I wrote it I didn't know writers weren't supposed to do that. I'm glad I didn't know, because I pulled it off. I hope you enjoy the book."
