Publisher Description

Seeking to round out the compelling story of the American West, bestselling Lakota author Joseph M. Marshall III brings a new slant to the traditional Western: historical fiction written from the Native American viewpoint.

This riveting novel takes place during the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand, otherwise known as the Fetterman Massacre of 1866. The story is told alternately through the eyes of Cloud, a dedicated Lakota warrior who fights alongside a young Crazy Horse, and Max Hornsby, a white pioneer who mistakes Cloud’s redheaded wife for a captive.

Beautifully written and reminiscent of the oral tradition, Hundred in the Hand brings new depth and dimension to the story of the battle and the Lakota people.

"I really enjoyed listening to this book. One narrator for the Sioux point of view and one for the white settlers' point of view. The book chronicles the invasion of Sioux territory by white settlers primarily from the viewpoint of the Sioux already occupying the land."

Quotes

  • “[A] completely realized world. Readers who love to hear a harness creak or the whistle of an arrow or love to see snow snake across a drifted valley floor will revel in Marshall’s West…Marshall has tapped into an old form and infused it with a slightly different brand of knowledge to produce a swift, compelling read. Simply put, if you like Westerns, you’ll love this one.”

    — Washington Post Book World

  • “Marshall reads the passages told from the Lakota viewpoint himself…John Terry reads the passages about the settlers…The two voices combine to show the story’s shifts in perspective well…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

    " Just finished Hundred in the Hand by Joseph Marshall. It was an underwhelming glimpse into the life of the Sioux as Americans migrated to west. Kind of disappointing. "

    " "There were no survivors." So reads a monument at the site of the Fetterman Massacre. My favorite line said to Cloud during his wife's pregnancy, "women are strong or they could not be mothers and grandmothers." "

    " A great story of historical events written from the side of the Indian Warrior. This could technically be considered a cross between a good old western and historical fiction. I give it a thumbs up. Reminded me a bit of Dancing with Wolves. "

    " When I was young, I read only Indian stories. Wanted to be an Indian. I bought this book to take me back to a world that was simpler, direct, and sacred. The storytelling is all of the above. We still screw the Indians, though. "
