November is Native American Heritage month
Osceola, Cochise, and Tecumseh are three Native American heroes who
fought valiantly for their land and for their people. This book is
divided into three parts--each part recounting the life of one of
these great heroes. Their true stories are emotionally gripping and
tragic, and Ann McGovern handles delicate topics, such as violence
and racism, expertly for young readers. The narrative text is
supplemented by black-and-white original source materials
throughout (i.e. photographs, maps, portraits, a newspaper
article).
This new adaptation of Dee Brown's multimillion-copy bestseller,
"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," is filled with photographs and
maps to bring alive the tragic saga of Native Americans for
middle-grade readers. Focusing on the Sioux nation as
representative of the entire Native American story, this
meticulously researched account allows the great chiefs and
warriors to speak for themselves about what happened to the Sioux
from 1860 to the Massacre of Wounded Knee in 1891. This dramatic
story is essential reading for every student of U.S. history.
