书籍介绍
Now a special 30th-anniversary edition in both hardcover and paperback, the classic bestselling history The New York Times called "Original, remarkable, and finally heartbreaking...Impossible to put down"
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is Dee Brown's eloquent, fully documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century. A national bestseller in hardcover for more than a year after its initial publication, it has sold almost four million copies and has been translated into seventeen languages. For this elegant thirtieth-anniversary edition -- published in both hardcover and paperback -- Brown has contributed an incisive new preface.
Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown allows the great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them demoralized and defeated. A unique and disturbing narrative told with force and clarity, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee changed forever our vision of how the West was really won.

精彩摘录
- "Now, like tortured dreamers dreaming the same nightmare over again, they were fleeing again from screaming bullets."
- ".....To kill or hang all the warriors meant separating them from the old men, women, and children. This work was too slow and dangerous for cavalrymen; they found it much more efficient and safe to kill indiscriminately. They killed 103 Cheyennes, but only 11 of them were warriors."
- "Sheridan publicly congratulated Custer for "efficient and gallant services rendered." In his official report of victory over the "savage butchers" and "savage bands of cruel marauders" General Sheridan rejoiced that he had "wiped out old Black Kettle....a worn-out and worthless old cypher." He then "
- "Before the beginning of the yellow leaves moon, the floor of the canyon along the creek was a forest of tepees --Kiowa, Comanche, and Cheyenne -- all well stocked with food to last until spring. Almost two thousand horses shared the rich grass with the buffalo. Without fear, the women went about the"
- "The great leaders were gone; the mighty power of the Kiowas and Comanches was broken; the buffalo they had tried to save had vanished. It had all happened in less than ten years."
- "The last of the Sioux war chiefs now became a reservation Indian, disarmed, dismounted, with no authority over his people, a prisoner of the Army, which had never defeated him in battle."
- "As Crazy Horse walked between them, letting the soldier chief and Little Big Man lead him to wherever they were taking him, he must have tried to dream himself into the real world, to escape the darkness of the shadow world in which all was madness. They walked past a soldier with a bayoneted rifle "
- "Crazy Horse died that night, September 5, 1877, at the age of thirty-five. At dawn the next day the soldiers presented the dead chief to his father and mother. They put the body of Crazy Horse into a wooden box, fastened it to a pony-drawn travois, and carried it to Spotted Tail agency, where they m"
用户评论
从印第安人的角度讲述十九世纪后半期美国印第安人如何被政府和民间合力蚕食消灭的。真是血泪斑斑啊。文笔紧凑流畅，不愧是经典之作。
美利坚：一段历史【
五星推荐，详细介绍了十九世纪美国政府如何威逼利诱一步步蚕食美洲原住民各部落的土地。白人矿工又如何因淘金梦而进入原住民的领土，甚至一步步赶走了这片土地的主人的。
纳瓦霍人、苏族人、夏延人、阿帕奇人、阿拉帕霍人等部落无一幸免于政府与白人定居者之间的联手攻击。
读完这本书很难让人不产生对原住民的同情以及美国政府两面三刀的愤怒。
书籍里面的红云的战争、Donehogawa应对种族歧视、原住民保卫圣山、坐牛的巡回演出、90年代流行起来的鬼舞信仰（本质上是基督教杂糅原住民的巫术的产物）以及都令人印象深刻。
可能是“文明”的必经之路
