I know I will love this as ever since I was a child I sympathised with the American Indians and used to get really upset in cowboy and indian films when they were portrayed as baddies! Thanks Veganbob.
I always knew that the American Indians were treated baddly by the White settlers but I was shocked to learn just how bad.It was shocking how they were lied to, cheated out of their land and murdered!
Thanks, Bob for letting me read it.
Not sure where I will release it yet.

This is one great book!
A well researched and well written book about the genocide of the native American tribes and the ways they were fooled out of their land.
You cannot help but get angry when reading this book, when you read about the braves that tried in every way to follow the "white man's ways" and still ended up in jail, chased into a Reservation or, more often than not, dead.
I loved reading about the great warrior chiefs and their struggle to keep their people alive in a world being overtaken by the greed of the white man, no wonder guys like Crazy Horse, Red Cloud and Sitting Bull fought with all their might while they could.
In the end the reader learns a lot about the plight of the Native Americans and cannot help but feel enlightned about the way the West was won, and its price.
After I read it I certainly felt that they could bury a piece of my heart at Wounded Knee too.
A must read!
