| Shrnutí: | The book is a documented account of the systematic plunder of the second half of the nineteenth century, battle by battle, massacre by massacre, broken treaty by brokem treaty. Here for the first time is their side of the story. We can see their faces, hear their voices as they tried desperately to live in peace and harmony with the white man. With forty-nine photographs of the great chiefs, their wives and warriors; with the words of the Indians themselves, culled from testimonies and transcripts and previously unpublished writings; with a straight-foward, eloquent, and epic style the book presents a unique and disturbing history of the American West from Indian point of view |
