2007 One Book One Nebraska
Crazy Horse by Mari Sandoz
Published
in 1942, Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas is one of the
best-known books written by Sandoz. More than a description of the life
of an individual, Crazy Horse is an in-depth look at the culture and
spirituality of the Oglala Sioux.
Activities to mark the 2007 celebration of One Book One Nebraska are being coordinated by the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center at Chadron State College. These events include book discussion groups, resource guides, traveling exhibits and the Annual Conference of the Mari Sandoz Heritage Society to be held at Chadron State College March 29-31, 2007.
We hope that you help us celebrate and explore the work of one of Nebraska's great literary voices by participating in local community events throughout Nebraska related to Crazy Horse and One Book One Nebraska.
For additional information please contact the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center at 308-432-6401.
