O knihe

William J. Bordeaux (Buffalo Killer

[Ptek̇asóela]

William J. Bordeaux was a bona-fide member of
the Brule band of the Sioux tribe. His grandfather
James Bordeaux was one of the early French fur
traders who bravely carried on his trade and barter
with the Sioux when the virgin prairies of the west
were still an open frontier.

A lineal descendent of Red Cormorant Woman
[Húntkálutawin], his grandmother, he was well
versed in his mother tongue. Being proficient in
several dialects of the native language, he was able
to converse with sage and grizzled old warriors,
and thus obtain information impossible for a
white man to learn. His close union with his own
tribe and daily conversations with them is an assurance that no doubtful, or
transcribed evidence, will appear on these pages.

In Bordeaux's search for material for a history of his people, he spent
considerable time, traveled and talked to the oldest Indians on the
different Sioux Indian Reservations. Through his research he stored up and
accumulated a wealth of stories and legends, with awe inspiring fables, and
facts which would be valuable to story writers.

These fragmentary myths and authentic facts connected with his people
would have been lost without these writings. In his travels for the purpose of
obtaining datum relative to the hostile activities by the different war chiefs, he
found one warrior that stood out alone, excelling all other Sioux war braves,
as to courage, and cunning, "Crazy Horse", an Oglála Sioux.
