Domer Matteoni Authors a Book on Sitting Bull


I had the great pleasure of meeting Norm Matteoni '63 -- a graduate of Notre Dame Law School -- and his beautiful wife Pam, a few weeks ago at a dinner here on campus.

Norm, a legal scholar with a successful law practice in Los Gatos, CA -- has a passion for the American West.

During dinner I learned Norm attended Bellarmine Prep High School in San Jose at the same time my Dad did back in the mid 50's.  I was honored to be able to reconnect the two Bellarmine "Bells" a couple of days later prior to the Texas vs. Notre Dame game

In his spare time, Norm found the time to write a book called Prairie Man: The struggle between Sitting Bull and Indian Agent James McLaughlin. 

Here's a Mercury News story about Norm and Prairie Man -- and a second link to where you can buy it from Amazon.

I highly recommend you buy this book!
