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).

"Two hundred and seventy authentic photographs and sketches and a running narrative of rare simplicity and power make up this story of the struggle between the United States and the western Indian tribes which chose to fight rather than to go tamely on reservations." Dust cover.

La historia contenida en estas páginas comienza con la Larga Marcha de los navajos en 1860 y se cierra, treinta años más tarde, con la masacre de los sioux en Wounded Knee (Dakota del Sur), periodo en el que los indios americanos perdieron su tierra y sus vidas frente a la expansión del "hombre blanco". Durante estas tres décadas, la población blanca de Norteamérica se duplica por las sucesivas oleadas de inmigrantes. Una y otra vez se hacen promesas a los indios que después son rotas por la codicia que empuja a los conquistadores más y más hacia el oeste. A partir de relatos autobiográficos, testimonios grabados y documentación de la época, el historiador estadounidense Dee Brown realiza un detallado relato de la destrucción sistemática de los indios americanos durante el siglo XIX dejando hablar, por primera vez, a sus protagonistas: los jefes y guerreros de las tribus aniquiladas. El resultado es una narración que ha cambiado para siempre la visión de la conquista del Oeste americano.

Dee Brown reintroduces the familiar yet compelling social issue with his sophomore effort. Why do I have to be your Nigger? “Theories In Niggativity”, questions diverse correlations between African-Americans and the word nigger. Dee explores cultures, gender gaps, racism, class-status, stereotypes, along with various philosophies in order to present understanding concerning his people’s overwhelming kinship with one word. Why do we love the word? Why do we hate the word? Dee Brown presents readers an introspective view of African-American pioneers whose legacy unfortunately failed to outlast one word. WHY?

Naked in my Soul is a poetic journey to emotional healing.
