Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Although the cover and some of the epigraphs would indicate focus on Crazy Horse and the lost Lakota way of life, John B.

We agreed that I should place it here at the end of the book. The first thing that I wanted to comment on was the title. I found it to be a fitting and poignant choice, reflecting the author's introspection on the enduring legacy of history, culture, and memory tied to iconic and sacred sites in America's West. Each poem questions the established narratives of famous historical moments and individuals, asking readers to reconsider the ideas of heroism, conquest, and cultural significance through a deeply reflective lens. The poems explore the legacy of battles, the monumental figures associated with them, and the contrasting cultural values held by Indigenous and European settler societies.…
