Three powerful tales from the acclaimed chronicler of the American
West—including 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.
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). The Fetterman
Massacre: A riveting account of events leading up to the Battle of the
Hundred Slain—the devastating 1866 conflict at Wyoming’s Ft. Phil
Kearney that pitted Lakota, Arapaho, and Northern Cheyenne
warriors—including 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. Creek Mary’s Blood: This New York Times bestseller
fictionalizes the true story of Mary Musgrove—born in 1700 to a
Creek tribal chief—and five generations of her family. The sweeping
narrative spans the Revolutionary War, the Trail of Tears, and the
Civil War—in 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).
