Massacre at Wounded Knee
The Story of The Indians of the Western Plains - Illustrated and Written by FRANK HUMPHRIS
This is a book I had when I was a kid. Published in 1973 by Ladybird at a time when the story of Native Americans had become the story of Cowboys v Indians. Although the title is not very PC the illustrations are amazing and the book is very factual and actually explains the atrocity of how Native Americans were treated at the same time of showing how brave and fearsome they were as warriors in the defence of there land.
During the 70's when kids spent there days playing Cowboys and Indians (outdoors...no playstations back then!) I was always a Native American! I recently travelled through North Carolina on a road trip through America and actually got to visit the Cherokee reserve.
