 | Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown, Dick Estell
BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE is Dee Brown's eloquent, fully documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century. A national best-seller in hardcover for more than a year after its initial publication, it has sold almost four million copies & been translated into seventeen languages. Using council records, autobiographies, & firsthand descriptions, Brown allows the great chiefs & warriors of the Dakota, Utes, Sioux, Cheyenne, & other tribes to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, & broken treaties that finally left them demoralized & defeated. A fascinating, painful document...illustrated with magnificent Indian portraits. --Edmund Fuller, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL; A first-rate account-- strongly & ardently written. --THE NEW YORKER; The seminal historical work... --Laurel Graeber, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW; Dee Brown was a librarian. So he was in a position to examine all the books about the winning of the west written if not wholly from the white point of view, then at least from white sources. So he faithfully ransacked the Indian records-- oral histories, autobiographies, letters-- & fashioned a devastating narrative. --Steve Eng, BOOK PAGE. AUTHOR: Dee Brown, Dick Estell
