| | Powell's Books - The Heartsong of Charging Elk by James Welch |
 | | James Welch, whose Fool's Crow stands among the finest American novels, Indian or otherwise, to be published in the past two decades, was arguably the best writer to emerge from this Native American Renaissance. |
 | | Inspired by actual historical fact, James Welch's The Heartsong of Charging Elk tells the story of an Oglala Sioux who travels the extraordinary geographical and cultural distance from tribal life in the Black Hills of South Dakota to existence on the streets of Marseille. |
 | | James Welch is the author of four previous novels, including Winter in the Blood (1974) and Fools Crow (1986), which won the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award, and one nonfiction work, Killing Custer (1994). |
