PACG Book Club - Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown (first 10 chapters)
Monday, March 20th at 4:30 pm via Zoom
The PACG Book Club decided to further explore the history of our country’s treatment of its indigenous peoples by reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown. Since the book is long, we will read and discuss the first ten chapters in March and finish the book in April.
More about the book from Goodreads:
“Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is Dee Brown's eloquent, fully documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century. A national bestseller in hardcover for more than a year after its initial publication, it has sold almost four million copies and has been translated into seventeen languages…
Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown allows the great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them demoralized and defeated. A unique and disturbing narrative told with force and clarity, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee changed forever our vision of how the West was really won.”
