Dee Brown's eloquent, meticulously documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the 19th century uses council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions. Brown allows 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 - and lost.©1970 Dee Brown; Preface 2000 by Dee Brown (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

If I had to pick one book that every human being should read, this is it!

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is beautifully written. The book isn't centered around Wounded Knee, instead it tells the painful history of the many Native American tribes during our nation's early years.

The author does an OUTSTANDING job of using the words of the native Americans themselves, thus giving them a voice that is seldom heard! I must admit that my pride in my country has been lessened by reading this book. The broken promises, lies and greed of the founders of our nation is devastating. The absurd ideology of Manifest Destiny demonstrates a nation of tremendous greed and unjust entitlement. In the end, our policies and treatment of the native Americans amounted to centuries of persecution and mass ethnic-cleansing,

Please don't let my opinion of the events shade the book itself!! Brown doesn't overdramatize the events and stories in the book. This book isn't an opinion piece or editorial. The writing style is very straightforward and fact-oriented. That is what makes it so powerful and important. The events and stories speak for themselves. There were good and bad on both sides. This book provides historical context and perspective.

Exceptional audio performance. This is an award worthy performance for the great Grover Gardner!

The saddest thing is that it doesn't feel like the policies and treatment of Native Americans have changed much. We fought to the death for the abolition of slavery and civil rights of black Americans and women. Why didn't we fight for Native American rights as well? Why are native Americans treated differently?

I'm very thankful that I listened to this book. I wish there were more books about native Americans and their circumstances up to the present day.

Most important American History book ever written.

We often only see history from the European point of view. This book book gives you a chance to see what it was like on the other side. Ever person in the United States should read this book if only to see the price that was paid for our world today. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Would you listen to Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee again? Why?

This audiobook was well worth the time of hearing, and well read. It details the horrible tragedy of the killing of the American Indians. It should be part of every school children's education.

What did you like best about this story?

Each individual tribe and it's leaders are spoken of in detail. The dishonorable cowardly American generals and soldiers who took part in this horrible tragedy full of lies and broken treaties are spoken of in detail. This includes the many presidents of the United States that allowed it to happen and heroes such as Gen. Sherman who should rot in hell.

What does Grover Gardner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Grover Gardner did an outstanding job in reading this book to me. I myself find it difficult now at the age of 82 read more than a printed page or two of any book so I found this audible book very purposeful and well done.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The tragedies brought forth in such good detail was more than a reaction from me. To say I enjoyed the book is not a fair statement, however I am very glad that I was fortunate enough to be able to hear it.

Any additional comments?

The revisionist history that is taught to our children in our schools has brought forth much more of the same dishonesty, greed and tragedy that our nation has found itself part of. History should be a lesson!

All Americans should read this book and be ashamed

This book should be required reading in all American high schools eleventh and twelfth grade.

Powerful book.

How wicked, cold hearted and greedy can a person be? This is the heart wrenching “other side of the story” that is untold in most white circles. And by the way, Indians are not savages, they’re humans.

Any additional comments?

This was a very difficult book to get through because it is so painful to listen to hour after hour of genocide and broken promises. But it is a critically important work to understand our true history, and the current issues in Native American communities. There were times where I just had to take a break from the sadness. But this should be required reading in U.S. history courses, as our country's students never hear this side of the story. Highly recommend.

Heartbreaking, but such an important read

Heartbreaking and tragic tale of betrayal and broken promises. Brought tears of injustice to my eyes and the spirit of warrior fire to my heart.
