About This Item
(London, Chatto & Windus, 1970). Adaptation for young readers by Amy Ehrlich from Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. 8vo; original olive-green boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper maps; pp. x + 166, incl. index; maps; several plates, incl. some after E. S. Curtis' famous photographs. Boards a little sunned. Very good condition. "Those who have always looked westward when reading about the 'so-called winning of the American West should read this book facing eastward. That was the direction the Plains Indians were facing as these terrible events in their history unfolded.' This is the advice of Dee Brown in his preface to this adaptation for younger readers of his Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee." .
