Forget the heroic myths of cowboys and pioneers. This is the American West as it was truly lived—and lost—by its native peoples. Dee Brown’s landmark book finally gives voice to the silenced, recounting three decades of broken treaties, forced relocations, and brutal massacres through the eyes of leaders like Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph, and Geronimo. From the Long Walk of the Navajo to the final, tragic shots at Wounded Knee, this is the unflinching, heartbreaking history that will forever change your understanding of how the West was won.
