Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the year 1890 wound to a close, a band of more than three hundred Lakota Sioux Indians led by Chief Big Foot made their way toward South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation to join other Lakotas seeking peace. Fearing that Big Foot’s band was headed instead to join “hostile” Lakotas, U.S. troops surrounded the group on Wounded Knee Creek. Tensions mounted, and on the morning of December 29, as the Lakotas prepared to give up their arms, disaster struck. Accounts vary on what triggered the violence as Indians and soldiers unleashed thunderous gunfire at each other, but the consequences were horrific: some 200 innocent Lakota men, women, and children were slaughtered. American Carnage—the first comprehensive account of Wounded Knee to appear in more than fifty years—explores the complex events preceding the tragedy, the killings, and their troubled legacy. In this gripping tale, Jerome A. Greene—renowned specialist on the Indian wars—explores why the bloody engagement happened and demonstrates how it became a brutal massacre. Drawing on a wealth of sources, including previously unknown testimonies, Greene examines the events from both Native and non-Native perspectives, explaining the significance of treaties, white settlement, political disputes, and the Ghost Dance as influential factors in what eventually took place. He addresses controversial questions: Was the action premeditated? Was the Seventh Cavalry motivated by revenge after its humiliating defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn? Should soldiers have received Medals of Honor? He also recounts the futile efforts of Lakota survivors and their descendants to gain recognition for their terrible losses. Epic in scope and poignant in its recounting of human suffering, American Carnage presents the reality—and denial—of our nation’s last frontier massacre. It will leave an indelible mark on our understanding of American history.

Book excerpt: Discover the tragic history of the Wounded Knee Massacre... The events which took place on a bitterly cold morning near Wounded Knee Creek on December 29, 1890 represent the last acts in the series of bloody conflicts that were carried out between white settlers and Native Americans over a period of more than two hundred years. These deaths of several hundred people of the Lakota tribe at the hands of soldiers from the U.S. 7th Cavalry have also become symbolic of the often violent subjugation of Native American culture. This event was originally known in the United States as the Battle of Wounded Knee and was celebrated as a resounding victory for U.S. troops over a dangerous band of Native American warriors. More than twenty soldiers who participated were awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest U.S. award for valor in combat. It only later became clear that most of the dead Lakota were unarmed women and children and that this group of Native American people was not on the warpath but attempting to flee to safety on a reservation. Wounded Knee was not just another battle of the Indian Wars. It marked the moment when hopes for the preservation of a unique Native American way of life finally died. Before Wounded Knee, there were frequent and often violent conflicts between settlers and Native Americans. After Wounded Knee, most Native Americans were confined to reservations where they were increasingly overwhelmed by feelings of despair and hopelessness. Wounded Knee is important in itself as an example of the massacre of helpless people by a well-armed adversary from an entirely different culture, but also in the wider context as the final act in the story of conflict between whites and Native Americans. Whether you choose to call it a battle, a massacre, or simply a tragedy, this is the story of what really happened at Wounded Knee Creek in December 1890.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota in 1890, the majority of Big Foot's band of Miniconjou was massacred by the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army. Wounded Knee has gained great symbolic significance over the years. It is often linked with the end of the frontier and the Lakota nation, and as symbolic of broken treaties, US military aggression and subsequent injustice towards Native Americans. This study examines 110 years of representations including conflicting newspaper and journal reports, survivors' testimonies, official reports, compensation hearing claims, history texts, autobiographies, fiction, Oscar Howe's painting Wounded Knee Massacre, the film Thunderheart, and displays is museums of artifacts. ease with which stereotypes are adopted and accepted, the assumption of objectivity in historical texts, the complexities involved in collecting Lakota stories, the tensions between the freedom encountered and limits imposed on writing historical fiction, and the ethical issues confronted in the memorialization and display of the Wounded Knee site and artifacts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling book, the author alternately recounts the events and details of the 1890 massacre of the Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee and his participation, one hundred years later, in the commemorative Big Foot Memorial Ride. The counterpoint and contrast between the two events produces a powerful effect; the oral accounts of the survivors of the slaughter are sometimes so brutal that the reader needs to be taken away, if only into the cold and wind of a century later.
