On a trip to Pine Ridge, he found Black Elk and the next year he began meetings and interviews with the Sioux Holy Man that resulted in the book and also tremendous information for the writing of A Cycle Of The West, his tremendous epic poem covering the westward movement across America from 1820 to 1890. Neihardt was searching for some “long hairs” (Native Americans that still remembered the old ways) to help him understand the Ghost Dance Movement that swept across the plains in the late 1800s. Perhaps his most well known work is Black Elk Speaks. Many interesting stories about that part of his life are found in the second volume of his autobiography, Patterns And Coincidences. Neihardt after a severe illness and a “vision-dream” changed his life course and began writing. He lamented in his autobiography, All Is But A Beginning, that he would actually had a working model if he could only have afforded the fifty cents it would take for a tinner to fabricate. He actually designed a steam turbine long before one existed. As a young boy, John Neihardt thought that he was going to become a great inventor. He was the author of some twenty-five volumes of poetry, fiction, and philosophy. Neihardt is available in the Neihardt Store NOW!
