Grandfather says this:
“In life there is sadness as well as joy, losing as well as winning, falling as well as standing, hunger as well as plenty, bad as well as good. I do not say this to make you despair, but to teach you…that life is a journey sometimes walked in light and sometimes in shadow.”
Grandfather says this: “Keep going.”

When a young man’s father dies, he turns to his sagacious grandfather for comfort. Together they sit underneath the family’s cottonwood tree, and the grandfather shares his perspective on life, the perseverance it requires, and the pleasure and pain of the journey. Filled with dialogue, stories, and recollections, each section focuses on a portion of the prose poem “Keep Going” and provides commentary on the text.
Readers will draw comfort, knowledge, and strength from the Grandfather’s wise words—just as Marshall himself did.
Praise for The Journey of Crazy Horse:
"Marshall's gloriously poetic and sweeping chronicle ushers in a new genre of American history--indigenous, oral, formerly suppressed, a thrilling narrative based upon personal stories and hidden accounts only a trusted Indian scholar could collect and only a true-born writer could dramatize....A tour de force."--Peter Nabokov, professor of American Indian Studies and World Arts and Culture at UCLA and author of Native American Testimony
"This story of treachery and honor has never been told better. Crazy Horse is no longer merely a symbol for the Oglala, or even for the Lakota, but has become an inspiration for all. Marshall's scholarship is meticulous, ihs passion gripping. T his is as composed and crafted as a fine novel."--Dr. Roger Welsch, anthropologist, author, and former University of Nebraska professor
"...a remarkable portrait of a remarkable man."--Colin G. Calloway, professor of history and Samson Occom Professor of Native American Studies, Dartmouth College
Praise for The Lakota Way
"It is rare to find a storyteller who is also a natural healer...ith gentle humor and fierce beliefs, Joseph Marshall places his personal and magical words just so into the human heart, reminding us all through the stiring of memory that full capacity and beauty are still in each soul..."--Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D, author of Women who Run with the Wolves and La Curandera
