“Grover Gardner is an exceptional narrator…He carries a reading along without artifice, making for a smooth listening experience….His able, clear pronunciation of Native American names makes them seem commonplace, with no hesitation or awkwardness. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

A #1 New York Times bestseller

Immediately recognized as a revelatory and enormously controversial book since its first publication in 1971, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is universally recognized as one of those rare books that forever changes the way its subject is perceived.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is Dee Brown’s classic, eloquent, meticulously documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century. Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown allows great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the series of battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them and their people demoralized and decimated.

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 won—and lost. It tells a story that should not be forgotten and so must be retold from time to time.

    Very interesting.

    Great book about the Indians. I learned a lot from this book. We owe the Indians a great deal!

    Overall, disappointing

    I was expecting a lot from this very famous book. The story of the relentless grinding down of the native Americans is clearly and effectively set out. This alone merits a thumbs up. But there is a lack of narrative flow, so for much of the book I felt (guiltily) a bit bored.
