Lakota Dreams

In 1872, young Nate Henderson travels from Texas with his family, dreaming of gold in the Black Hills. But on the way, tragedy strikes in Nebraska, and for the next four years his life, as well as his dreams, are transformed. As Nate grows into manhood, he develops a strong relationship with both the largest Lakota Sioux tribe and with their sacred Black Hills. He eventually moves to the frontier town of Stonewall where he discovers first-hand the might of the Seventh Cavalry and the intentions of its leader, George Armstrong Custer, to remove all Indians from the Dakota Territory. Though told by many whites that nothing can be done to prevent what he believes would be a tragedy, Nate, placing himself in great peril, secretly devises an intricate plan to reverse the seemingly inevitable and catastrophic fate of the Sioux and their allies. Lakota Dreams is an intriguing revision of frontier history and offers excitement, romance, suspense, and many colorful characters. It is a novel that will entertain, stir imaginations and that will leave readers asking, “what if?”

5Dreaming of Yesteryear  Jul 19, 2010
By Patricia G. Saunders "pats1403"
Lakota Dreams has an outstanding setting, the Dakota Territory, and main characters, Nate Henderson, Custer and the 7th Cavalry, and members of the Sioux nation. The post-Civil War years spilled turbulence into every aspect of life across the U.S. Greed and avarice were fed by a gold rushes and land rushes across the West. Hundreds of tents and lean-tos sprouted, some growing into towns along Conestoga and train tracks west. Amid all this, Nate's efforts on behalf of the Sioux bring to mind character traits exhibited on the silver screen by John Wayne, Gary Cooper, and Kevin Costner. The fates of Nate, Custer's men, and the Sioux are graphic reminders of what happens when only one group of citizens is in charge. Anyone who loves reading about the West will enjoy this tale.

5Gripping Saga of the West  Sep 06, 2011
By David A. Steitz
Greenwood has done an exceptional job of combining a realistic portral of life on the frontier of the 1870's and an unpredictable plot that will leave you in suspense until the final page. As enjoyable as McMurtry and a great read whether you're a fan of Westerns or not. Bravo!
