The Native American Experience: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Fetterman Massacre, and Creek Mary's Blood

Three powerful tales from the acclaimed chronicler of the American Westâ€”including the #1 New York Times bestseller, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.

Two profoundly moving, candid histories and a powerful novel illuminate important aspects of the Native American story.
Â
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: The #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century West, Dee Brownâ€™s groundbreaking history focuses on the betrayals, battles, and systematic slaughter suffered by Native American tribes between 1860 and 1890, culminating in the Sioux massacre at Wounded Knee. â€œShattering, appalling, compelling .Â .Â .Â One wonders, reading this searing, heartbreaking book, who, indeed, were the savagesâ€ (The Washington Post).
Â
The Fetterman Massacre: A riveting account of events leading up to the Battle of the Hundred Slainâ€”the devastating 1866 conflict at Wyomingâ€™s Ft. Phil Kearney that pitted Lakota, Arapaho, and Northern Cheyenne warriorsâ€”including Oglala chief Red Cloud, against the United States cavalry under the command of Captain William Fetterman. Based on a wealth of historical resources and sparked by Brownâ€™s narrative genius, this is an essential look at one of the frontierâ€™s defining conflicts.
Â
Creek Maryâ€™s Blood: This New York Times bestseller fictionalizes the true story of Mary Musgroveâ€”born in 1700 to a Creek tribal chiefâ€”and five generations of her family. The sweeping narrative spans the Revolutionary War, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil Warâ€”in which Maryâ€™s descendants fought on both sides of the conflict. Rich in detail and human drama, Creek Maryâ€™s Blood offers â€œa robust, unfussed crash-course in Native American history that rolls from East to West with dark, inexorable energyâ€ (Kirkus Reviews).
