European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 04, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Y books a i a the legacy of Dee Brown s wounded knee most a Quarter Century ago a librarian and agricultural economics professor at the University of Illinois finished his 17th Book. It was expected Only to add one More title to his list of respected but modest Selling histories and historical novels. However Dee Brown s Bury my heart at wounded knee would forever change the Way the world viewed the american Indian. Though much history written since then reflects indians More accurately their Story was largely untold before Bury my heart.  my heart at wounded knee remains a monumental and key text in understanding the Ameri can West. A historian i know describes it More As an event than a Book said documentary maker Ric Burns whose Spring series the Way West on pcs will feature Brown prominently. C Brown who grew up in Southern Arkansas and has lived in Little Rock since the Early 70s, is having two other books reissued this fall hear that lonesome whistle blow railroads in the West and the Amer ican West three Early Brown works consolidated into one volume. At 86, he knows he will be remembered most for Bury my heart at wounded knee which has sold More than 5 million copies and been translated into almost every language there is Brown said. The publisher Holt Rinehart & Winston put the hardcovers in new York bookstores in Early Decem Ber 1970.a r Bury my heart was enthusiastically welcomed by an Era still attuned to the anti establishment rhythms of the 60s. It paved the Way for a generation of re lated books and films topped by dances with wolves in 1990 and continuing still. By retelling the history of the american West in " the words of those whose Way of life was destroyed by european settlement Brown redefined the notion of Manifest destiny As something closer to a bloody land grab. As yellow Wolf a Nez Perec Indian was quoted the Whites told Only one Side. Told it to please themselves. Told much that is not True. Only his own Best deeds Only the worst deeds of the Indi ans has the White Man told. I Bury my heart Drew its authority from documents Brown had backing up All the broken treaties stolen lands Ano brutality he detailed. The Book was based on government treaty Council records pictographic and translated autobiographical accounts of indians and 19th-century_newspaper and to Magazine inter views.  Bury my heart a virtual Industry of new Western history has sprung Forth assessing the set element of America in less euro Centric terms. Brown applauds most of it but cautions that in some cases the pendulum has swung Back farther than is justified. Some have gone too far. They blame Whites too much. No matter what race the settlers had been the rape of the Earth would have occurred. That s How the world will end when there s no clean air to breathe no clean water to drink no Trees he said. But generally books and magazines today do portray the West More As it was. I Hope they Don t go so far As to destroy All the myths and legends. I Hope i did t Start a trend where everyone is trying to prove everything was a lie. There were bad indians and not All the Whites were  " Ric Burns brother of civil War and baseball Doc.
