The race takes place in the summer of 1872, on the plains of the Dakotas.The book provides a vivid description of the life and culture of the Sioux people, their customs, and traditions. It also sheds light on the complex relationships between the different tribes of Native Americans and the white settlers who were encroaching on their land.The main characters in the book are Sitting Bull, Yellow Bird, and a white trader named Jim Bridger. The story is told from the perspective of Bridger, who is a witness to the horse race and the events that follow.The horse race is not just a competition between two men, but a symbol of the struggle between the Sioux people and the white settlers. The outcome of the race has far-reaching consequences for both Sitting Bull and Yellow Bird, and sets the stage for the larger conflicts that would follow.Overall, Ree Horse Race: An Incident In The Life Of Sitting Bull is a fascinating and insightful look into the life of one of the most iconic Native American leaders.
