This engaging and informative book chronicles the events leading up
to and including the Wounded Knee massacre of 1890. The Indian wars
of the 19th century played an intrinsic role in shaping American
history. During the half-century period from 1840 through 1890, the
Plains Indians found themselves in unavoidable conflicts with white
settlers, particularly the United States government and its
military forces. As a result, these native residents lost their
freedom and their way of life as nomadic hunters and were
eventually forced onto reservations. The Wounded Knee Massacre:
Landmarks of the American Mosaic focuses on events from the Battle
of the Little Bighorn in 1876 to the tragic slaughter of 300 Lakota
Sioux on December 29, 1890. The book closely examines the factors
and circumstances that led up to the slaughter, providing an
accessible and straightforward look into the Wounded Knee massacre
that will captivate both high school and college-level students. An
explanation of the event's legacy, including the Native American
takeover of Wounded Knee in the 1970s, is also presented.
