Author: Ian Frazier
Context:
Tom explicitly references this book, saying he 'adored' it and 'carried around with me when I was visiting all these sites.' He then reads a lengthy passage from it about Crazy Horse's death, specifically about Crazy Horse refusing to lie on the cot and choosing to die on the floor.
Author: Dee Brown
Context:
Implied reference when discussing Wounded Knee. Tom says 'Where hearts are buried' and Dominic responds 'Exactly. Where hearts are buried at Wounded Knee.' This is a clear allusion to Dee Brown's famous 1970 book about Native American history.
