"Return to Wounded Knee" is the masterpiece of American writer Dee Brown. It is an immortal masterpiece that shows the simplicity and tenacity of the Indians and the bloody cruelty of the United States' westward expansion. Combining eyewitness accounts, tribal histories, and other archival documents, the author compiles a history of America's deadly late 19th-century frontier conflict from an American Indian perspective. This remarkable work chronicles how American Indians lost their land, lives, and freedom in the face of white westward expansion and colonization. In this work full of cruelty, betrayal and violent charm, famous figures of the Indian resistance movement such as Sitting Bull, Cochise, Crazy Horse and Geronimo come to life vividly on the page.
