Those qualities came to the fore in \u003cem\u003eBlack Elk Speaks\u003c\/em\u003e, the story of the Lakota holy man Black Elk, for which he is best remembered. Over the course of thirty years he also wrote a five-volume epic poem, \u003cem\u003eA Cycle of the West\u003c\/em\u003e, which told the story of the settlement of the American West.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Despite Neihardt's widespread name recognition, the success of \u003cem\u003eBlack Elk Speaks\u003c\/em\u003e, and a list of critically acclaimed books and poems, \u003cem\u003eLonesome Dreamer\u003c\/em\u003e is the first biography of Neihardt in nearly forty years. Timothy G. Anderson describes Neihardt's life from his humble beginnings in Illinois to being named poet laureate of Nebraska in 1921 and to his appearance on the \u003cem\u003eDick Cavett Show\u003c\/em\u003e at the age of ninety. Anderson also delves into Neihardt's success as a poet far from the East Coast literary establishment, his resistance to modernist movements in poetry, and his wish to understand and describe the experience of the Plains Indians. Offering insight into both his personal and his literary life, this biography reaffirms Neihardt's place in American literary history, his successes and failures, and his unbreakable spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimothy G.
