Crazy Horse family member Floyd Clown and author William Matson will speak about and sign their new book. The Crazy Horse family’s oral history had not been told outside the family for over a century. Now it is ready to be told by Clown, who is the son of Edward Clown, who was the nephew to Crazy Horse and the keeper of the sacred bundle and pipe for the family after his mother Iron Cedar passed away. Their book includes what they know about one of Montana’s biggest events – the battle of the Little Bighorn – including who killed Custer, how he was killed, and what happened to his missing index finger.
