Eagle Voice Remembers: Annotated Edition
An Authentic Tale of the Old Sioux.
Previously published as When the Tree Flowered, Eagle Voice Remembers is John Neihardt’s mature and reflective interpretation of the old Sioux way of life. Through his writings, Black Elk, Eagle Elk, and other old men who were of that last generation Sioux to have participated in the old buffalo-hunting life and disorienting period of strife with the U.S. Army found a literary voice. What they said chronicles a dramatic transition in the life of the Plains Indians; the record of their thoughts, interpreted by Neihardt, is a legacy preserved for the future. Neihardt’s granddaughter Coralie Hughes wrote the Foreword in which she states the text of Eagle Voice Remembers should be considered “a companion volume to the widely known Neihardt classic Black Elk Speaks.” This copy contains annotations by David Posthumus and a foreward by Neihardt’s granddaughter Coralie Hughes
