Bury Me at Wounded Knee

A good history book needs a combination of three elements: Archiving (creating a historical record of events), Analyzing (drawing connections, making predictions), and Storytelling (creating a narrative). This book is, in some regards, light on the first two, but very heavy on the third.

The stories recounted here are some of the most enthralling I've ever read, not just in history books, but nonfiction as a whole. I would wager that this is better than 99% of all novels. I would find myself laughing or weeping in public while reading this.

I can't wait to read this again. My only hope is that these stories can be told and shared even more.
