Summary:
"In 1999 The Contract Surgeon was published to great critical acclaim. It introduced readers to Valentine McGillycuddy, the U.S. Army contract surgeon who became a friend of the great war chief Crazy Horse. Through McGillycuddy's eyes, the
novel
recounts the friendship that so deeply impacted history. It also chronicles the Great Sioux War, one of the most violent and reprehensible periods in this nation's history. THE
INDIAN
AGENT
is the riveting sequel to The Contract Surgeon. After Crazy Horse's death, McGillycuddy went on to become the youngest
agent
in history for the Red Cloud Agency, renamed the Pine Ridge
Indian
Agency, where he served longer than any other
agent
before him. The politics and the enormous tensions of the early days of the reservation are depicted in fascinating detail, as are the Sioux people's painful attempts at transition to reservation life. McGillycuddy had lived on the vast plains with them. No one knew better what the Sioux had given up- or understood more fully the impossibility of returning to that life. Incredibly suspenseful and full of the texture of the Great Plains, THE
INDIAN
AGENT
is a masterpiece that leads us through one of the most devastating periods of the West, to the book's climax-the massacre at Wounded Knee."--Publisher.
