Brown's eloquent, meticulously documented account of the systematic
destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the 19th
century uses council records, autobiographies, and firsthand
descriptions. Brown allows 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 - and lost.
