Dee Brown

Original, remarkable and finally heartbreaking...Impossible to put down

Calculated to make the head pound, the heart ache and the blood boil

An Indian History of the American West

The American West, 1860-1890: years of broken promises, disillusionment, war and massacre.<br/>
<br/>
Beginning with the Long Walk of the Navajos and ending with the massacre of Sioux at Wounded Knee, this extraordinary book tells how the American Indians lost their land, lives and liberty to white settlers pushing westward. Woven into a an engrossing saga of cruelty, treachery and violence are the fascinating stories of such legendary figures as Sitting Bull, Cochise, Crazy Horse and Geronimo.<br/>
<br/>
First published in 1970, Dee Brown's brutal and compelling narrative changed the way people thought about the original inhabitants of America, and focused attention on a national disgrace.
