From Amazon.com

First published in 1970, this extraordinary book changed the way Americans think about the original inhabitants of their country. Beginning with the Long Walk of the Navajos in 1860 and ending 30 years later with the massacre of Sioux men, women, and children at Wounded Knee in South Dakota, it tells how the American Indians lost their land and lives to a dynamically expanding white society. During these three decades, America's population doubled from 31 million to 62 million. Again and again, promises made to the Indians fell victim to the ruthlessness and greed of settlers pushing westward to make new lives. The Indians were herded off their ancestral lands into ever-shrinking reservations, and were starved and killed if they resisted. It is a truism that "history is written by the victors"; for the first time, this book described the opening of the West from the Indians' viewpoint. Accustomed to stereotypes of Indians as red savages, white Americans were shocked to read the reasoned eloquence of Indian leaders and learn of the bravery with which they and their peoples endured suffering. With meticulous research and in measured language overlaying brutal narrative, Dee Brown focused attention on a national disgrace. Still controversial but with many of its premises now accepted, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee has sold 5 million copies around the world. Thirty years after it first broke onto the national conscience, it has lost none of its importance or emotional impact. --John Stevenson --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Library Journal

This 1970 volume greatly changed the view of pioneers' westward advancement. Based largely on primary source materials, this volume details how white settlers forced Indian tribes off the plains, often simply by killing them. Though Hollywood and penny dreadfuls portrayed Indians as red devils who launched unprovoked attacks on innocent homesteaders, Brown's research shows that the opposite is closer to the truth. The text is buttressed with numerous period photos. An essential purchase. (LJ 12/15/70)

This review is from: Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West (Paperback)
This book is a classic and a big inspiration for my own work on the Lakota Sioux and Wounded Knee: They Never Surrendered: The Lakota Sioux Band That Stayed in Canada.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the three essential books on Native American life and history, Mai 27 2007
This review is from: Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West (Paperback)
There are three books you need to read if you want to understand the Native American experience or the American experience from Native American eyes. The first is Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. The second is Black Elk Speaks by John Niehardt. The third is Neither Wolf nor Dog by Kent Nerburn. If we could get every American to read these three books we would begin to heal the wounds of our history.

5.0étoiles sur 5 True History from a Native Perspective -- Not One-Sided!, Jui 20 2004
Par Un client
This book recounts the trials and tribulations that the indigenous people have gone through, and continues to go through to this day. Being of Native descent, I found it hard with the history lessons taught in schools. A little too one-sided? I think not. Remember, history is HIS story -- the Europeans' version of what truly happened centuries ago. It has taken too long for us to have our story told. The indigenous people were keepers of the land, and never claimed to own the land. We never had any concept of the value of gold. We lived with the land and were one with it. Was it right to drive them from their homes? To have hundreds of men, women and children die during their walk of the Trail of Tears? I clearly do not remember any of this being taught in history class. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Read it with an open mind and heart and understand history as it truly was! It is not one-sided in any sense of the phrase. Being one-sided is not telling the whole truth!
