Are there books on the wounded knee uprising?

Answer 1

Dee Brown's book "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" is a useful and very well known study of the events of that time, but importantly it describes all the other events leading up to it. It sets Wounded Knee in the context of all the other conflicts between white Americans and the native populations.

Heather Cox Richardson has recently written "Wounded Knee", which concentrates mainly on the massacre itself and on the political situation in Washington DC that set the scene for the massacre.

There are also the following books:

• Voices of Wounded Knee

  William S. E. Coleman. University of Nebraska Press, 2000

• After Wounded Knee

  Jerry Green; John Vance Lauderdale. Michigan State University Press, 1996

• Great Western Indian Fights (Chap. 25 "Tragedy at Wounded Knee")

  Members of the Potomac Corral of The Westerners. University of Nebraska Press, 1960

• From Fort Laramie to Wounded Knee: In the West That Was by Charles W. Allen; Richard E. Jensen. University of Nebraska Press, 1997

• The Ghost-Dance Religion and the Sioux Outbreak of 1890 (Chap. XIII "The Sioux Outbreak - Sitting Bull and Wounded Knee")

  James Mooney. University of Nebraska Press, 1991

• The Sixth Grandfather: Black Elk's Teachings Given to John G. Neihardt (Chap. 8 "The Ghost Dance and Wounded Knee (1889-91)" and "The Wounded Knee Massacre" begins on p. 269)

  Black Elk; John G. Neihardt; Raymond J. DeMallie. University of Nebraska Press, 1984

Answer 2

Yes, there are several books on the Wounded Knee Uprising, including "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown, "The Last Ghost Dance: A Guide for Wounded Knee" by Brooke Medicine Eagle, and "Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West" by Dee Brown. These books provide different perspectives on the history and impact of the Wounded Knee Uprising in 1890.
