Synopsis
Originally published in 1970, BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE has emerged as the seminal depiction of the U.S. government's brutal assault on Native Americans in the 19th century. Relying on Native American records, memoirs, and firsthand reports, Dee Brown provides a victims' account of the hardships inflicted on several different tribes, including the Navajos, the Apaches, and the Sioux, all of whom were made to sign treaties renouncing their native lands, and then later, in many cases, forced off the land which was lawfully granted to them via those same treaties. Brown describes the horrific violence which the military routinely inflicted upon the tribes, and the resistance of chiefs like Geronimo, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull, all of whom died while being captured or held prisoner by the U.S. government. Brown's moving portrayal culminates with a riveting remembrance of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where Sitting Bull led a force of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors to a stunning victory over General Custer, as told by some of the participants themselves.

Industry Reviews
"'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' is a much better book than the title would indicate; it is, in fact, extraordinary on several accounts. It is first and foremost a compelling history of the American West, distinguished not because it is...an Indian history...but because it is so carefully documented and designed....Mr. Brown's book is a story, a whole narrative of singular integrity and precise continuity; that is what makes the book so hard to put aside, even when one has come to the end."
