The Native American Experience
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Fetterman Massacre, and Creek Mary's Blood
About this book
Three powerful tales from the acclaimed chronicler of the American Westâincluding the #1
New York Times bestseller,
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
Two profoundly moving, candid histories and a powerful novel illuminate important aspects of the Native American story.
Â
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: The #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century West, Dee Brown's groundbreaking history focuses on the betrayals, battles, and systematic slaughter suffered by Native American tribes between 1860 and 1890, culminating in the Sioux massacre at Wounded Knee. "Shattering, appalling, compelling . . . One wonders, reading this searing, heartbreaking book, who, indeed, were the savages" ( The Washington Post).
Â
The Fetterman Massacre: A riveting account of events leading up to the Battle of the Hundred Slainâthe devastating 1866 conflict at Wyoming's Ft. Phil Kearney that pitted Lakota, Arapaho, and Northern Cheyenne warriorsâincluding Oglala chief Red Cloud, against the United States cavalry under the command of Captain William Fetterman. Based on a wealth of historical resources and sparked by Brown's narrative genius, this is an essential look at one of the frontier's defining conflicts.
Â
Creek Mary's Blood: This New York Times bestseller fictionalizes the true story of Mary Musgroveâborn in 1700 to a Creek tribal chiefâand five generations of her family. The sweeping narrative spans the Revolutionary War, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil Warâin which Mary's descendants fought on both sides of the conflict. Rich in detail and human drama, Creek Mary's Blood offers "a robust, unfussed crash-course in Native American history that rolls from East to West with dark, inexorable energy" ( Kirkus Reviews).
