Věřte tomu nebo ne, Jacku Crabbovi je 111 let. Věřte nebo nevěřte, Jack Crabb má dva otce: jednoho bílého a druhého, sice duchovního, zato nefalšovaného indiánského náčelníka kmene Čejenů, který mu také dal to nezapomenutelné jméno - Malý velký muž Malý velký muž Jack Crabb tak zdědil od každého svého předka něco a výsledkem je zábavný vypravěč, který si neláme hlavu s rasovými rozdíly a přepíná podle momentální potřeby mezi bílými a rudými návyky a zvyklostmi.… (altro)

En su relato al coleccionista, le cuenta que primero fue niño blanco, luego, tras el asesinato de su familia por los indios, niño cheyenne, y adolescente blanco y guerrero cheyenne (con el nombre de “Pequeño Gran Hombre”) después, y jugador de ventaja, y buscador de oro, y cazador de búfalos, y explorador del ejército, y confidente del general Custer, y amigo de “Wild Bill” Hickok.… (altro)
