Donna E. (impossible) reviewed Trail to Wounded Knee The last Stand of the Plains Indians 1860-1890 on + 3352 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1
Back of book: The Plains Indians stand forth, proud, strong, and resourceful, the very image of the American West. Yet in one of the most painful ironies of our history, their ancient culture was decimated in a single generation, through three decades of bitter warfare, chronicled in this powerful book.
I say: The color and black and white photos which illustrate this book make it even more powerful. The trail starts with the Plains Indians delegation to Washington, then looks at the battles and massacres leading up to Wounded Knee, then discusses Wounded Knee itself.
