Reading A Cycle of the West | Alexandria
Read A Cycle of the West by John G. Neihardt. Reimagining the American frontier through Native eyes, A Cycle of the West shatters romanticized Western myths by weaving Lakota oral histories with epic poetry. Neihardt's groundbreaking work reveals how Plains Indian warriors viewed Custer not as a hero, but as a reckless aggressor whose hubris led to his downfall—challenging centuries of biased frontier narratives.
