Historians and others have long debated events surrounding the
Wounded Knee Massacre of December 1890, which followed decades of
conflict between American Indians and the United States military in
the West. Government officials, reporters, and white Americans
quickly appropriated the tragedy that took place on Wounded Knee
Creek in South Dakota, creating narratives of the events that
echoed longstanding federal Indian policy. Over time, however, new
voices emerged, and additional witnesses stepped forward to tell a
different story. “All Guns Fired at One Time” sets aside
official narratives of what was once called a “battle” and
centers instead on the voices of survivors and witnesses. Their
memories shed new light on the day that ultimately ended in the
loss of over two hundred Lakota men, women, and children. In
addition to extensive first-person accounts, Greene assembles an
array of little-known newspaper stories, interviews,
correspondence, and testimony, setting them in the context of the
days and moments leading to the massacre and the landscape on which
it occurred. Together, these sources convey the profound terror of
those who suffered the experience, adding a new dimension to the
story of what really happened at Wounded Knee.
