“I would sooner lose a third of my command than Frank Grouard!”—General George Crook
Frank Grouard was no ordinary scout. Captured by the Sioux, he lived among them for years, mastering their language, customs, and way of war. When he finally returned to frontier life, his unmatched knowledge of the Plains tribes made him indispensable to General George Crook during the Great Sioux War of 1876—just days before Custer’s disastrous fight at the Little Bighorn.
Tall, fearless, and fiercely loyal, Grouard moved through two worlds—the lodges of the Lakota and the camps of the U.S. Army—earning respect from both allies and enemies. He rode beside Crook at the Battle of the Rosebud, shadowed Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull across the frontier, and carried intelligence that shaped the Army’s western campaigns.
Originally published in 1894, Legend: Life and Adventures of Frank Grouard preserves one of the most authentic voices of the Indian Wars. Through Grouard’s own words, readers see the clash of cultures, the danger of the open plains, and the courage it took to survive the last great battles of the American frontier.
For readers who love tales of scouts, soldiers, and Native American history, this is a vivid, firsthand look at the true frontier—raw, unforgiving, and unforgettable.
This 2020 edition contains newly unearthed information about many of the people mentioned within.
