A searing classic that restores the voices erased from America’s story.First published in 1970 and deeply relevant today, Dee Brown’s Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee transformed how the world saw American history. Drawing on firsthand accounts, autobiographies and government records, Brown chronicles the westward expansion of settlers and the devastating displacement of Native Americans, from the Navajo Long Walk to the massacre at Wounded Knee Creek in 1890. Combining meticulous research with gripping storytelling, this definitive account of colonial conquest and cultural survival remains an essential text for anyone interested in American history, indigenous rights and the roots of modern injustice.

Dee Brown spent the early part of his life in the lumber camps and oil fields of the American South West. He worked as a printer, journalist and a librarian, and has published numerous books, mostly non-fiction, dealing with the history of the American West. The tragedy of the American Indians haunted him from boyhood, when he first became aware of their fate, and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was a product of many years research in an attempt to set the record straight. Dee Brown died in 2002, aged 94.
