"Astounding . . . A tour de force of historical storytelling . . .
The Heart of Everything That Is is grand in scope and beautifully
observed. . . . Together, [Drury and Clavin] have managed a feat of
scholarship that interweaves ethnological brilliance and an
insightful reinterpretation of Indian culture from the point of
view of the Sioux."--The Wichita Eagle
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A SALON.COM BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
TRUE WEST MAGAZINE'S BEST BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR "A ripping yarn . .
. A quintessentially Western tale of bold exploits, tough
characters, brutal conditions and a lost way of life, this sounds
like the sort of story that practically tells itself. Yet you only
realize how little justice most popular histories do to their
source material when you come across a book, like this one, that
does everything right. It's customary to say of certain nonfiction
books -- gussied up with plenty of 'color' and psychological
speculation -- that they 'read like a novel, ' but truth be told,
most of the time we'd have to be talking about a pretty mediocre
novel. The Heart of Everything That Is, on the other hand,
resembles the good ones. There were times, turning its pages, when
I could almost smell the pines of the Black Hills, feel the icy
wind tearing down from Canada across the prairie and hear the
hooves of the buffalo pounding the earth."--Laura Miller "Salon "
