One of the most shattering works of American history ever written, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee chronicles the systematic destruction of the Native American people during the latter half of the nineteenth century, told entirely from the perspective of those who suffered it. Dee Brown reconstructs the three-decade reign of westward expansion through the voices of great chiefs and warriors — Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Geronimo, and Red Cloud — presenting a devastating, first-hand account of broken treaties, forced marches, and the deliberate erasure of a civilization. Drawing on council records, autobiographies, and eyewitness testimonies, Brown constructs a narrative of immense moral weight, turning the triumphalist mythology of the American frontier on its head and forcing readers to confront the true cost of Manifest Destiny. A landmark of revisionist history, this illustrated edition remains as urgent and necessary as when it was first published in 1970 — leaving the reader to wrestle with questions of justice, memory, and national identity that have never been fully resolved.
