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.

This new adaptation of Dee Brown's multimillion-copy bestseller, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, is filled with photographs and maps to bring alive the tragic saga of Native Americans for middle-grade readers. Focusing on the Sioux nation as representative of the entire Native American story, this meticulously researched account allows the great chiefs and warriors to speak for themselves about what happened to the Sioux from 1860 to the Massacre of Wounded Knee in 1891. This dramatic story is essential reading for every student of U.S. history.

The first detailed account of the history of Fort Phil Kearny, including the dramatic Fetterman Fight of December 21, 1866, in which the U.S. Army suffered its worst defeat on the northern plains until Custer’s defeat at the Little Bighorn ten years later.

A definitive, illustrated, single-volume history of the American West, from the bestselling author of BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE, Dee Brown.
