Description
Book SynopsisBrings together for the first time all the available sources - Lakota, military, and civilian - on the massacre of 29 December 1890.
Trade Review"This is the first account in which participants have been allowed to tell the story almost entirely in their own words... [Coleman] has welded these accounts ... into a riveting narrative that tells how the massacre emerged out of a long string of broken treaties, cultural mistrusts, governmental rivalries, and inflammatory press reports."-Library Journal. "This is one of the most informative books written about the unfortunate circumstances leading to the 1890 debacle at Wounded Knee. Twenty-five years in the making, it provides insights into the Ghost Dance phenomenon with its visions and beliefs in the Messiah's arrival."-Choice
