About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Based on the personal journal of Gabriel C. Horstmann, M.D. (“Doc Gabe”), the story of Crazy Horse is told in this unique and spellbinding work. Even though “Doc Gabe’s” recitations have been rephrased in part, his story is a chilling reminder of the untamed wilds of the early West.
From under the pony soldiers’ guns, bewildered northern Lakota grieve the treacherous bayoneting of Crazy Horse. However, his body must be hidden, secured against violation by Treaty Chief trackers. Shadow wolves stalk the trail, coveting a Wasicu $300 cash reward for the head of Crazy Horse. All the while, there are none so destitute of pity as Red Cloud, appointed Treaty Chief over all Lakota-Sioux by the whites. His “shadow wolves” prowl the hinterlands, eliminating anyone posing a political threat to his rule.
The heart-wrenching truth, the death of Crazy Horse – the ‘invincible one’ – signaled the loss of a way of life on the Great Plains. Yet, his parents persevere, desperate to put Tashunka Witko [Crazy Horse] on the Spirit Trail from the “Place of the Grandfathers” sanctuary. On sacred ground amid cottonwoods, pines and burial mounds below the Snake Waters’ cliffs, seven-foot Touch-the-Clouds stands alone protecting Worm [Crazy Horse’s father] and his wife. They race against time in their pilgrimage to the secret Vision Quest site where tribal elders lay buried and death threatens at every turn. Their mission: Find a forever-hiding place. Together, they stop at nothing to succeed.
Deftly constructed at 107 pages, Lakota Headhunters: Talking Leaves: The Crazy Horse Conspiracies is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Lakota Headhunters meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $24.95 and $10.95, respectively.

About the Author
Tim Long has spent an extensive amount of his life traveling and researching the haunts, battlefields and trails across the Great Plains. Over three decades, Long has walked in the shadows of these Old West characters as he fit pieces into the historical puzzle as never before. In an attempt to breathe emotion into fact and history, he has spoken with some of the West’s most influential and provocative historians, including members in the Order of Indian Wars and Native American tribal elders. Being a self-confessed “fictioneer,” this author forms conclusions and takes liberties, all the while basing his narratives on true accounts. The underlying intent, however, is always to tell a good story. By living close to the Rocky Mountains, Long draws on their inspiration. Having raised six children between them, he and his wife reside near Denver.
