The “fascinating” #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the
world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century
West (The Wall Street Journal). First published in 1970, Bury My Heart
at Wounded Knee generated shockwaves with its frank and heartbreaking
depiction of the systematic annihilation of American Indian tribes
across the western frontier. In this nonfiction account, Dee Brown
focuses on the betrayals, battles, and massacres suffered by American
Indians between 1860 and 1890. He tells of the many tribes and their
renowned chiefs—from Geronimo to Red Cloud, Sitting Bull to Crazy
Horse—who struggled to combat the destruction of their people and
culture. Forcefully written and meticulously researched, Bury My
Heart at Wounded Knee inspired a generation to take a second look at
how the West was won. This ebook features an illustrated biography
of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author’s personal
collection.
