Crazy Horse leads the Oglala Sioux across the Great Plains while General George Armstrong Custer commands the 7th Cavalry through the Montana Territory. Both men rise to leadership while young. Both face disgrace and fight to regain their standing among their people. The vast prairie calls to each warrior in different ways. Crazy Horse sees ancestral hunting grounds that must be defended. Custer sees territory to be claimed for a growing nation. On June 25, 1876, their paths cross when 611 cavalry soldiers ride toward the Little Bighorn River where three thousand Indians wait for battle. Two cultures clash over possession of the open land. The parallel journeys of these fighters reveal how personal courage and ambition shape the collision between worlds.
