Book Description
In this excellent book on Wounded Knee, former National Park Service historian Greene takes an unbiased
approach, and is reluctant to place blame for the events of December 29, 1890. Before covering the awful actions of that day, he carefully sets the scene, including the misunderstandings surrounding the Ghost Dance. He also establishes the mindset of government officials, army commanders, and especially the Indians, who would suffer such devastating losses.
