The Taming of the Sioux (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781498171298)

""The Taming of the Sioux"" is a historical account of the relationship between the Sioux Native American tribe and the United States government during the late 19th century. Written by Frank Fiske, a photographer and journalist who lived among the Sioux, the book provides a firsthand perspective on the events that led to the subjugation of the tribe. Fiske describes the conflicts between the Sioux and the U.S. Army, including the Battle of Little Bighorn and the Wounded Knee Massacre. He also explores the efforts of government officials to ""civilize"" the Sioux by forcing them to adopt white American culture and religion. Through Fiske's narrative, readers gain insight into the complex and often tragic history of Native American-United States relations, as well as the impact of colonialism and cultural imperialism on indigenous peoples.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1917 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
