Curly, also known as Crazy Horse, is one of the novel's main characters. During his earliest years, people called him Curly because of his unruly, curly hair and light complexion..... both features being rare amongst the people he was born into.
Curly was a healthy, normal boy, and his father was a medicine man. He grew up in a time when the encroachments of the white man were noticeable in two places: the Oregon Trail, and the East. Thus, there were times when the white men were significant, but also periods when they weren't significant at all.
When Curly had his vision, he learned that he was to be a hunter and a warrior—common vocations for males of the tribe. He was very successful at both.
