Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown

5.0

An important book-- and just crushing as you see the inhumane treatment time after time with the greed and the prejudice. It was disheartening to follow along and know what the fate of these people was destined to be. I always believed that good people outnumbered evil ones. Maybe that rule was skipped for this episode of our history. Or maybe the good ones just chose to look the other way while the American exterminations took place.

"The more Indians we can kill... the less will have to be killed the next war, for the more I see of these Indians, the more convinced I am that they all have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers." William Tecumseh Sherman
