Stephen E. Ambrose Quote

There was no room on this new road for Crazy Horse, the greatest warrior of them all. Perhaps Touch-the-Clouds had this in mind as he looked down on those courageous, confused people. It s well, he said quietly, reassuringly. He has looked for death and it has come. The Oglalas filed away, silently, into the night.
