Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is Dee Brown's eloquent and meticulously documented account of the systematic destruction of American Indians during the late nineteenth century.

Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown introduces readers to great chiefs and warriors of various tribes, revealing the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that methodically stripped them of their freedom.

The book is a forceful narrative that has permanently altered our understanding of how the American West was defined and the devastating effects of American expansionism on Native American populations.
