Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the discursive structures and narratives informing eyewitness accounts of the death of the Oglala Lakota leader Tasunke Witko, or "Crazy Horse" (c.1840-1877), and the resonances of these discourses in the construction of later volumes of historical scholarship and popular biography. Both the primary and secondary accounts of Crazy Horse's death rely upon discursive prescriptions of the discipline of "normal history" to establish themselves as truthful, reliable representations of the event.
