Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee – 1971 First Edition, 2nd Printing Hardcover w/ Dust Jacket
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a powerful and eye-opening read that centers the Native American perspective on U.S. history. Dee Brown’s account highlights the injustices faced by Indigenous communities, including the Wounded Knee Massacre.
This is a collectible hardcover edition—first edition, second printing—published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1971. It includes the original dust jacket (with some small edge chips), now protected in a removable clear archival wrapper. There’s also an inscription dated 1975 on the front end page.
The book was banned by a Wisconsin school district in 1974 to “avoid controversy,” which only proves how important stories like this are. Books like this spark reflection, empathy, and real conversation.
