Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it.”
Thus ends the story, as you know it did, if you stayed awake in history class. Treaty after treaty, mile by mile, Western Man propagated genocide on the huge canvas of the United States.
The spread of the lies, torture and murder is brought to meticulous life by Dee Brown, an inescapable tsunami of change that certainly colored the West.
Read the book.
