Voices of Wounded Knee
by William Coleman
Description: From the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Lincoln, Nebraska, author William Coleman discusses his book "Voices of Wounded Knee." On the morning of December 29, 1890 at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, a band of Lakota [LAH-koh-tah] (Sioux) [pronounced SUE] Indians, that were rounded-up and ordered to disarm, were fired upon by U.S. federal troops. The fighting resulted in more than three hundred Indians and several soldiers being killed. Mr. Coleman talks about his research for the book and how he reconstructed the events leading up to the massacre.
