The tragedy of the Native Americans had haunted Dee Brown since boyhood, when he first became aware of how they lost their land, lives and liberty to white settlers pushing westward. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was the product of many years of research in an attempt to set the record straight, and on publication in 1970 it gave (and still gives) a high-voltage shock to our understanding of “how the West was won”, awakened the conscience of a nation and went on to redefine American history. It is a magnificent book, eloquent and forceful, with a compelling cast of characters – Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Cochise, General Custer, Ulysses S. Grant and many others – and heart-wrenching in its detail.

Our cover is by Native American artist Nocona Burgess and portrays his great-great-great-grandfather Chief Quanah Parker, a revered leader of the Comanches. Ned Blackhawk, an award-winning historian and member of the Te-Moak Tribe of the Western Shoshone, has written a new introduction and offers an important perspective. And last but not least, we have illustrated the edition with original 19th-century photographic portraits of Native Americans, all of whom feature in the book.
