This and other spectacular stories will quicken the pulse of any red-blooded history buff. We also visit cow ranchers down in Texas and learn the true, unvarnished story of Dodge City and ...             Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West3 reviews Dee Brown Bantam Books, 1972 An Excellent Account of American Native History!!!! The Indians but I call them American Natives were here in America before anybody else. Sadly, the fate of the American Natives is that there are fewer than them around. Imagine that only a couple hundred years ago, there were millions of proud American Natives with a rich culture. The author, Dee Brown, constructs a very well researched book about the history of American Natives or Indians of the ...             Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West3 reviews Dee Brown Holt Paperbacks, 2007 During the Moon of the Must-Read There's already been much ink shed reviewing this seminal work by Dee Brown on the "loser's" of the 'Indian Wars' that consumed much of American history in the latter half of the 19th Century. If you don't feel great rage at the unceasing, genocidal campaign by European Americans upon the lands, animals and people of Native America, then you would have felt right at home among the ranks of ...             The Gentle Tamers: Women of the Old Wild West (Women of the West)3 reviews Dee Brown Bison Books, 1981 Our gritty female ancestors were amazing! I started reading this little gem while researching material for an historical fiction novel and soon discovered that I couldn't get enough of their stories. Before reading this book, I was guilty of looking back at our history never imagining the grit and humor our ancestors possessed. A great read.             Hear That Lonesome Whistle Blow: The Epic Story of the Transcontinental Railroads7 reviews Dee Brown Holt Paperbacks, 2001 Short History of the Western Railroads This short history of western railroads starts with the Rock Island bridge across the Mississippi. Abraham Lincoln's inspection of that accident scene allowed a win (pp.10-12). This resulted in commerce moving from Chicago to New York, and not down the river to New Orleans. It tells about the financial exploitation and scheming that was part of the construction. Towns often took on debt to ...             Morgan's Raiders (Civil War Library)2 reviews Dee Alexander Brown Smithmark Publishers, 1995 General John H. Morgan, died in Greeneville, TN I live in Greeneville, Tn and enjoy learning more about the civil war. General Morgan visited Greeneville often during the war and enjoyed staying at one of the nicest homes in the area known as the Williams/Dixon mansion which today has been restored to resemble the original splendor of the days when Gen. Morgan visited. Unfortunatley, Greeneville is also the town were General Morgan was ...             The Fetterman Massacre (Bison Book)6 reviews Dee Brown Bison Books, 1970 If you want to learn about western history, start here. This book finishes with incredible events that were set up at the beginning. It shows that this fight is where all the western stories in Hollywood originated; and is a real page turner as the Indians increase their activities. It will leave you impressed, both by the history you have finally learned, and the hardships endured by all parties involved. This is western history at its best.             Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West168 reviews Dee Brown Holt Paperbacks, 2001 The True Story of How the West Was Won The recent HBO movie based loosely on this book did no justice to these wrenching stories describing the decimation of the American Indian. Can it be that whites simply cannot comprehend the Indian culture and the tragedies tribes endured at the hands of the Great Father (as were called American presidents) and his minions? Visit a tribal reservation and you'll witness firsthand impoverished ...             Dead Men Walking: True Stories of the Most Evil Men and Women on Death Row Christopher Berry-Dee, Tony Brown John Blake, 2008 Twenty-five of the most horrific murder cases in American crime are brought together in this detailed and haunting compilation.

His Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a landmark. This anthology is exactly what I like - a smorgasboard of fascinating, factually accurate tales that fill in our understanding of the events, people and times of the Old West. Best of all, I feel he's clear-eyed and unencumbered by politics in describing American ...             Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West6 reviews Dee Brown Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1970 The Native American's Perspective This book is essentially a collection of short narrative about the struggles of various Native American cultures in what became the United States. The book is written from the perspective of the Native Americans, and thus has a different emphasis than many of today's high school U.S. History texts (at least not the same emphasis as mine had). I really enjoyed the reading. It was new to hear ...             The Galvanized Yankees2 reviews Dee Brown University of Nebraska Press, 1986 An Overlooked Chapter of American History The author is the agriculture librarian at the University of Illinois, and has written other books on 19th century Western history. These "Galvanized Yankees" were the Confederate prisoners of war who joined the Union army to fight Indians in the West, guarded surveyors for the Union Pacific, accompanied expeditions, escorted supply trains, and protected stage coach routes. This book covers the ...             Showdown at Little Big Horn (Bison Book)4 reviews Dee Brown Bison Books, 2004 Gripping, Can't Put It Down Tale of the Custer Fight The late Dee Brown was a master Historian whose writings about the Old West captivated many of us. "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" was a true classic. Dee Brown was NOT a Native American, but his saga of broken treaties, the massacres of Sand Creek and elsewhere, of how the Indian was mistreated, saw their buffalo slaughtered and were forced into war cannot but affect even those who cheered for ...             Dee Brown's Folktales of the Native American: Retold for Our Times1 review Dee Brown Holt Paperbacks, 1993 Around the campfire... These stories have the fun, lessons, and morals that make you want to memorize them for the next time you're around a campfire. They're great, because like most tales, they can be summarized in two sentences, yet with the expansion of narrative detail you can imagine yourself in an old council ring with an elder speaking slowly, and dozens of children listening in amazement. The stories are ...             Grierson's Raid2 reviews Dee Alexander Brown University of Illinois Press, 1954 One of the most engaging CW history books I've ever read Beginning in the 1980's and througout the 90's, an avalanche of new Civil War books were published. Generally speaking, that's a good thing: there were many, many excellent books written and contributed during that period. One thing that I think it did, though, was cause many people to overlook older CW histories in favor of newer ones. Often there was good reason for this, new primary source ...              search for books american, anthology, fetterman, folktales, galvanized, gardner, grierson, history, indian, library, little, lonesome, massacre, morgan, native, producing, raiders, railroads, retold, series, showdown, stories, tamers, television, transcontinental, walking, whistle, wounded, writing, yankees books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
