Description

A searing classic that restores the voices erased from America’s story.

First published in 1970 and deeply relevant today, Dee Brown’s Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee transformed how the world saw American history. Drawing on firsthand accounts, autobiographies and government records, Brown chronicles the westward expansion of settlers and the devastating displacement of Native Americans, from the Navajo Long Walk to the massacre at Wounded Knee Creek in 1890.

Combining meticulous research with gripping storytelling, this definitive account of colonial conquest and cultural survival remains an essential text for anyone interested in American history, indigenous rights and the roots of modern injustice.
