Description

Her great-grandfather used to be a famed Lakota warrior, her father a buffalo hunter, and Rosebud Yellow Robe hosted a CBS radio show in New York City. From buffalo hunting to the hub of twentieth-century urban life, this book chronicles the momentous changes within the life of a prominent Plains Indian circle of relatives over three generations. On the center of the tale is Rosebud (1907–92), whose personal recollections, circle of relatives memoirs, letters, and stories form the basis of this book.

Rosebud’s father, Chauncey Yellow Robe, used to be the son of a Lakota chief and had a traditional childhood until he used to be sent to the Carlisle Indian School, where he become an advocate for Indian education and citizenship. He used to be instrumental in planning the 1927 ceremony that brought his daughter into national prominence—an induction of Calvin Coolidge into the Lakota tribe, capped by Rosebud placing a feathered war bonnet at the president’s head. Marjorie Weinberg follows the young woman from Rapid City, South Dakota, to New York City, where she become a noted lecturer and teller of Indian tales (and where her broadcasting career brought her name to the attention of Orson Welles, who would possibly indeed have used her name for his famous sled in Citizen Kane). Reflecting a lifelong interest and a friendship that provided Weinberg get right of entry to to circle of relatives archives and a wealthy reservoir of circle of relatives oral tradition, The Real Rosebud offers an intimate picture of a century and a half of a remarkable Lakota circle of relatives.
