Originally published in 1970, BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE is the seminal depiction of the U.S. government's brutal assault on Native Americans in the 19th century. Here are the victims' account of the hardships inflicted on several different tribes, including the Navajos, the Apaches, and the Sioux, all of whom were made to sign treaties renouncing their native lands, and then later, in many cases, forced off the land which was lawfully granted to them via those same treaties.

This describes the horrific violence which the military routinely inflicted upon the tribes, and the resistance of chiefs like Geronimo, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull, all of whom died while being captured or held prisoner by the U.S. government.

Brown's moving portrayal culminates with a riveting remembrance of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, where Sitting Bull led a force of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors to a stunning victory over General Custer, as told by some of the participants themselves.

This is a fully documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century.
