Description: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee Dee Brown 1971 2nd Print HCDJ *Good condition-see photos*"One does not sell [or soak with blood] the earth upon which the people walk." - Crazy Horse . . . The massacre by United States soldiers of encamped Sioux at Wounded Knee is the culminating event in a barbarous and shameful catalog of war, slaughter, planned genocide, death marches, concentration camps, and broken treaties that the US government visted upon the peoples who had resided on the American continent for 40,000 years before the first white man stepped ashore. To write this searing, visceral account, which concentrates on the eradication of the vast Western tribes in just thirty years, from the first displacement of Navahos and Apaches in California to the atrocities committed at Wounded Knee--author Dee Brown devoted a lifetime to studying the American Indians. Through memoirs, trial transcripts and other government records we hear the authentic voices of chiefs and braves (intelligent, articulate, sometimes angry, more often sad or puzzled) tell one aspect or another of war they fought and lost to save their land, their buffalo, their culture, their very existence. . . "Calculated to make the head pound, the heart ache, and the blood boil." - The London Times
