Books by Dee Brown

Dee Brown (1908–2002) was an American author and librarian who spent much of his career at the University of Illinois. He wrote more than thirty books on American Western and Civil War history, including Creek Mary's Blood and The American West. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, published in 1970, became an international bestseller and is widely credited with shifting mainstream American understanding of westward expansion. Brown was of partial Cherokee descent and spent decades documenting Native American history before and after the book's publication.
