The speaker mentions a reading about Custer from Ian Fraser's book, which they adored and carried around while visiting historical sites.

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: Crazy Horse's death
For: Readers interested in Native American history and literature
Key quote: What I return to most often when I think of Crazy Horse is the fact that in the adjutant's office, he refused to lie on the cot.
The host mentions 'On the Great Plains' to highlight the profound insights Ian Fraser provides about Crazy Horse's character and his final moments. The book captures the dignity and defiance of Crazy Horse, particularly in the way he chose to die on the floor rather than on a cot, symbolizing his resistance to being objectified by white society.
