In VOICES OF WOUNDED KNEE, William S.E. Coleman brings together for the first time all of the available sources - Lakota, military and civilian - on the massacre of December 29, 1890.

He recreates the Ghost Dance in detail and shows how it related to the events leading up to the massacre. Using accounts of participants and observers, Coleman reconstructs the massacre moment by moment. He places contradictory accounts in direct juxtaposition, allowing the reader to decide who was telling the truth. This is a must read for those who want to know the inside detail surrounding the tragedy and the Indian Wars.
