About this product

Product Information

The shocking and compelling story about the original inhabitants of America and the first book to focus on their plight. The American West, 1860-1890- years of broken promises, disillusionment, war and massacre. 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. 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.

    An American classic.

    ' ...they promised to take our land, and they took it' You don't review a book such as this. Bury my Heart has carved its own place in the canon of American historical writing. All I will say is that I bought another copy to replace the last one that had fallen apart through so much use.

  • Most critical review

    Indian culture destroyed by the white man. A depressing read.

    If you are a lover of Indian culture you'll find this book depressing. I didn't realise there were so many Indian tribes. By the time I had reached about half way in the book I was depressed and also bored with it all. Also have the film. Must admit I enjoyed it more.

  • Red honorable; white deplorable.

    A heart rending account of the way that we, the white races, made, and broke, treaty after treaty; and treated a noble people with contempt. The Indians were far more likely to keep their word, whilst we never did. Of course their were a few hotheads among them, but often the level headed chiefs overruled these, enabling their word to be kept, and this even in the face of our contemptuous and callous disregard of covenants and treaties. We repeatedly broke signed treaties recognising land ownership; driving back and forcing Indians into so-called reservations, which were devoid of game and useless for growing crops, with the water brackish and disease ridden. ---Cruelty knows no bounds.

  • A little window

    A small window into activities that modern America wants to sweep under the carpet. Each of the stories were so interesting that I researched each one individually. I would recommend reading this book as a start to modern American history.
