A Native American legend – An Epic Struggle
The journey of a white boy into a foreign land – The land of the Lakota

Experience the compelling history of Crazy Horse, from boyhood until his untimely death, through the eyes of a fictional white boy named Andy – as he takes a heartfelt journey of the spirit.

In 1858 Andy’s family departed on a perilous wagon train excursion toward the Montana gold fields – a trip they would never finish. A nighttime Indian attack on their camp took the lives of everyone, except young Andy.
Alone on the vast prairie, Andy was captured by a young Indian known as Curly. The Lakota didn’t take prisoners, yet the light-skinned Indian took him back to his village, believing the boy was a spirit sent to him by the Great Whankan Thanka.
Re-named Wrong Hand by his adoptive Sioux family, Andy grew up alongside his strong and brave warrior brother. When soldiers encroached on the Indian’s hunting grounds the young man had to choose – leave with those of his own race, or stay in the culture he’d come to call his own.
Deciding to stay and work alongside the Lakotas to save their land, Andy experienced tribal politics and epic battles, including the Battle of Little Big Horn. After many victories, and in Lakota tradition, Andy’s Indian brother earned a new name. Though not an imposing sight, the mention of his name drove a dagger of fear through the hearts of whites.
The brother’s name is Crazy Horse...

VIVIDLY TOLD, August 6, 2007

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI)

Vietnam veteran, former police officer and teacher John Foxjohn presents Journey of the Spirit: Crazy Horse's Epic Struggle to Defend the Lakotas' Existence, a historical fiction novel following the life of legendary Lakota warrior and leader Crazy Horse. Told through the eyes of a fictional white boy named Andy, Journey of the Spirit follows the Lakota struggle to save their land and the rise of Andy's adoptive Indian brother, who earns the new name of Crazy Horse. Vividly told, Journey of the Spirit is an engaging novel that captures the essence of the moment, whether that moment is in the heat of battle or the peace of sharing family bonds.

 THE BEST EVER, August 13, 2007

By John Jumps (Black Hills, SD)

I have finally read a book that does not dehumanize my people. This book gives a clear and concise history of the Lakota and our beliefs, and the way we lived. It shows the People's human side, their strengths and weaknesses, the good and the bad. The author did it in a way that people can enjoy learning about my people, but more important, about Crazy Horse. I happen to know that the author spent years researching material for this novel and it shows.
Journey of the Spirit touched a part of my soul that I thought had died.

TREMENDOUS BOOK, April 30, 2007

By Jenni Etner (New York)

This is a book my whole family couldn't put down. I stayed up all night reading it, then my 14 year old daughter, and finally my husband. He never reads but loved this one.
I cried and laughed. I sure hope there is a sequel.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST, April 27, 2007

By Michael West (North Carolina)

I am an advid reader and over the years I have read many books I liked, but this one ranks up with the best. This is a great book. If this one doesn't hit the best seller list none will.
