Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown
7 reviews
katharina90's review against another edition
4.0
It's a fairly detailed account of select atrocities committed by settlers and the colonial government against various Indigenous nations in the mid to late 1800s as the "US" expanded westward.
Some of the language hasn't aged well (to be expected) and the writing style isn't particularly engaging but the content was compelling enough to keep me reading.

A colleague recommended this book to me and anyone else who hasn't read it. And he's right - everyone needs to read this book.
