Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West
New York: Holt Rinehart and Winston, 1970.
First edition, first printing. Signed by Dee Brown on the front free endpaper with a small drawing of a teepee, inscribed to former owners. xxii, 487 pp. Bound in publisher's orange boards with black cloth backstrip, spine lettered in blue, ruled in metallic crimson. Near Fine with former owner's bookplate on front free endpaper underneath signature, his name written on rear endpaper as well; sunned spine., a few tiny stains to top edge. In price-clipped dust jacket, spine sunned, lightly worn. A history of Native Americans and the American West that struck a chord with readers as the American Indian Movement was surging at the time of publication. It became a bestseller and has never been out of print since. Rare as a first printing (later printings are quite common, though), and especially so signed.
