In this unique photographic journal, the history of the Sioux People comes dramatically and poignantly alive. Their religious beliefs, tribal politics, family life, and conflict with the white man's ways are recreated through the talents of two remarkable men. John Anderson's photographs, taken in the late 1800s and early 1900s, represent the finest existing record of the Brulé Sioux People. They are the product of 42 years of close association with the Sioux, while serving as manager of the Rosebud Agency Trading Post. In 1889, when the Sioux Land Commissioners came to the agency to induce the Brulé Sioux to sign their lands away, Anderson went along as photographer for General Crook. Paul Dyck, internationally known for his paintings of the American Indian, is eminently and uniquely qualified to edit and interpret this rare collection of photographs. In writing the lyrical and informative text, as well as the captions for each photograph, he draws on this long and intimate knowledge of the Plains Indians. His insight and understanding light up the shadowed chapters of the past with a vivid, on-the-spot sense of reality. Beautifully designed and printed, BRULÉ is a choice collector's item for all those interested in the American Indian and his true place in our history. It includes 1785 photographs by pioneer photographer, John Anderson.
