Blood Brothers: The Story of the Strange Friendship between Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill by Deanne StillmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow, I really got into this tale of enemies turned friends and then, like something out of a tragic independent film, drunkenness and evil forces stop a potential life-saving reunion as a besotted Cody is literally directed down the wrong path while Sitting Bull is assassinated.
Lot's here about Annie Oakley too as well as the broader context of postbellum American already mythologizing a rapidly disappearing wild America.
