Dee Brown

Dorris Alexander Dee Brown (February 29, 1908 – December 12, 2002) was an American novelist and historian. His most famous work is Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, published in 1970, detailing the violent relationship between Native Americans and American expansionism. This work led to further appreciation of the Native American culture by the common American, and caused a new look at the history of the American west, from the Native American point of view.
