On December 29, 1890, American troops opened hearth with howitzers on a huge selection of unarmed Lakota Sioux men, women, and children near Wounded Leg Creek in South Dakota, eliminating almost 300 Sioux.

Richardson says a drastically new tale about the Wounded Leg massacre, disclosing that its roots place not in the West but in the corridors of politics power again East. Politicians in Washington, Democrat and Republican likewise, sought to set the stage for mass murder by exploiting an age-old politics tool: fear. Assiduously researched and amazingly written, Wounded Leg will be the definitive account of your epochal American tragedy.
