Description
The American West has long been a subject of national pride, but what of the indigenous peoples who called it home? Dee Alexander Brown's meticulously documented account sheds light on the systematic plunder of Native American communities during the 19th century, as they faced expropriation of their land, destruction of their way of life, and violence at the hands of the white man. Through 49 photographs and the words of the Indians themselves, Brown presents a unique and disturbing history of the region. This is a story of broken promises, oppression, and war, told in a straightforward, eloquent, and epic style. By hearing the voices of the Native American leaders and warriors who lived through these events, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex and often fraught history of the American West.
