Bury my heart at Wounded Knee : an Indian history of the American West Cover Image Book

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee : an Indian history of the American West / Dee Brown.

Indian history of the American West (other title)
Brown, Dee, 1908-2002 (Author).

Summary:

Documents and personal narratives record the experiences of Native Americans during the nineteenth century. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is Dee Brown's eloquent, fully documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century. Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown allows the great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them demoralized and defeated. A unique and disturbing narrative told with force and clarity, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee changed forever our vision of how the West was really won.
