One of the very best novels of the decade and the very best ever about the American West. - New York Times Book Review， on LITTLE BIG MAN In 1964， LITTLE BIG MAN gave us the reminiscences of Jack Crabb - a white orphan raised among the Cheyenne - who returns to "civilized" society， where (among other things) he tangles with Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickok， and ends up as only white survivor of Custer s Last Stand. Now in THE RETURN OF LITTLE BIG MAN， the sequel to that bestselling literary classic， Jack Crabb， the foremost chronicler of the American West， continues his fabulous adventures. At the end of LITTLE BIG MAN， Jack s supposed death at age 111 cut short his tale. A newly discovered manuscript， however， reveals that Jack had faked his death to get out of his publishing contract， and he now picks up the story of his extraordinary action-packed life. Back in the saddle again， Jack gives a blow-by-blow eyewitness account of the assassination of Wild Bill Hickok， and reveals what really happened at the O.K. Corral. He meets， shoots， drinks， and rides with Bat Masterson， Annie Oakley， Doc Holliday， and dozens of ordinary Western folk: teachers， bargirls， saloon owners， cowboys， trappers， and gunslingers. Jack even travels to Europe with Buffalo Bill Cody in his Wild West show， where he is embraced by Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales. And in a gut-wrenching finale， Jack witnesses the murder of one of one of America s greatest heroes - Sitting Bull. As in LITTLE BIG MAN， Thomas Berger s meticulous research enriches his story with authenticity and historical accuracy. THE RETURN OF LITTLE BIG MAN is an astonishing literary achievement and a rollicking good read.
