Book Synopsis



The landmark, bestselling account of the crimes against American Indians during the 19th century, now on its 50th Anniversary.

First published in 1970, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is Dee Brown's eloquent, meticulously documented account of the systematic destruction of American Indians during the second half of the nineteenth century. A national bestseller in hardcover for more than a year after its initial publication, it has sold almost four million copies and has been translated into seventeen languages. It was the basis for the 2007 movie of the same name from HBO films.

Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown introduces readers to great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes, revealing in heartwrenching detail the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that methodically stripped them of freedom. A forceful narrative still discussed today as revelatory and controversial, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee permanently altered our understanding of how the American West came to be defined.

Respect the Treaties!

A historical non-fiction book on the mass genocide and extinction (of some tribes) of the American Indian. Dee Brown takes us time traveling to the start of the battles, massacres, and forced relocations of the different groups of the natives thru modern times. Brown does a remarkable job of putting together the timelines the battles and massacres, showing how our modern day reservations have started. This book is telling of how the government went to great lengths to force relocate the Indians and making some groups go extinct thru broken promises, broken treaties, and deceitful practices. Brown encases this historical book thru great research, and eyewitness reports of the different time periods. This book is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it to learning more about American Indian history.
