Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in NFL history, Jerry Rice took the league by storm in his rookie season for the San Francisco 49ers. That year, he recorded 49 catches for 927 yards and was named NFC Offensive Rookie of the Year. Throughout his career, he was known for his strong work ethic and excellent performance on and off the field. In addition to being the all-time leader in every category for wide receivers, Rice was a 13-time Pro Bowler, a 10-time All Pro, and has won three Super Bowl rings with the 49ers. In his 20 NFL seasons with the 49ers, the Oakland Raiders, and the Seattle Seahawks, he missed only 17 regular season games, 14 of them in one year for a torn knee ligament. In 1999, ""The Sporting News"" ranked Rice second on a list of 100 Greatest Football Players. Retired since 2004, Rice made his primetime television debut as a contestant on ""Dancing with the Stars,"" finishing in second place.

The true life of Crazy Horse is plagued with questions. He did not leave any letters or diaries nor are there any records of speeches he made. Most notably, it is still unclear whether his death was an accident or a murder. Nevertheless, Crazy Horse is considered a gripping symbol of freedom, dignity, and the American West. He was the unfathomable leader for the Lakota tribe and was looked upon for protection by his people. But as whites invaded the Lakota lands and the buffalo herds shrank, many Lakota were forced to relocate to reservations. But not all, for Crazy Horse was determined to fight for his home. Rejecting the reservation system and negotiations with the white invaders, he guided the Lakota in two of the most monumental defeats ever suffered by the US Army: the Fetterman Fight in 1866, and the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, which was fought against the infamous General George Armstrong Custer. Over twenty illustrations and photographs help kids better understand this crucial figure and pivotal moment in nineteenth-century American history. Crazy Horse, part of the Wild West for Kids series, is a must-read for any young historian hoping to learn about a mysterious man who played an influential role in the Native American battles in the West.
