La visión de Caballo Loco: (Crazy Horse's Vision)
by Joseph BruchacLa verdadera historia del gran guerrero Sioux que, de joven, desafía la tradición y busca una visión propia con la esperanza de salvar a su pueblo. The true story of the great Sioux warrior who, as a young boy, defies tradition and seeks a vision on his own in hopes of saving his people.Caballo Loco (o Crazy Horse) es uno de los héroes indígenas más conocidos. Sin embargo, mucha gente no sabe que su nombre de niño era Rizos, inspirado por su cabello rizado. Rizos fue un líder incluso cuando era un niño, domaba caballos salvajes y cazaba poderosos búfalos. Pero toda su valentía no pudo prepararlo para los problemas que él y los otros Lakotas enfrentarían con los colonos blancos. Queriendo ayudar a su gente después de una feroz batalla que hirió de muerte al jefe Oso Conquistador, Rizos desafió la costumbre tradicional y arriesgó su propia vida al huir a las colinas en busca de una visión. El renombrado autor abenaki, Joseph Bruchac, cuenta una historia apasionante y convincente de cómo el joven dedicado, Rizos, se convierte en el valiente guerrero Caballo Loco. El artista sioux S.D. Nelson, con pinturas inspiradas en el estilo de libro de contabilidad de pueblos nativos de las llanuras, evoca el drama y la tragedia de una figura importante en la historia estadounidense. Crazy Horse is among the best known Native American heroes. Yet many people do not know his boyhood name was Curly, inspired by his curly hair. Curly was a leader even as a young boy, taming wild horses and hunting powerful buffalo. But all his bravery could not prepare him for the trouble he and the other Lakota Indians would face with the white settlers. Wanting to help his people after a fierce battle that mortally wounded Chief Conquering Bear, Curly defied traditional custom and risked his own life by running away, up to the hills, to seek a vision. Renowned Abenaki author Joseph Bruchac tells a gripping and compelling story of how the dedicated young boy, Curly, grows into the brave warrior Crazy Horse. Sioux artist S.D. Nelson, with paintings inspired by the ledger book style of the Plains Indians, evokes the drama and tragedy of an important figure in American history.
