Killing Crazy Horse
Killing Crazy Horse: The Merciless Indian Wars in America | Bill O'Reilly
3 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
The latest installment of the multimillion-selling Killing series is a gripping journey through the American West and the historic clashes between Native Americans and settlers. The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It’s 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh’s alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage on for decades. Bestselling authors Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country’s founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson’s brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe’s epic “sea to shining sea” policy, to President Martin Van Buren’s cruel enforcement of a “treaty” that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears. O’Reilly and Dugard take readers behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical moments in the fascinating creation story of America. This fast-paced, wild ride through the American frontier will shock readers and impart unexpected lessons that reverberate to this day.

I forgot to take a picture before I returned this. I read this one for our family book club. It was my mother‘s choice this time. This was not one of my favorites from this author. I think one gets a better picture from Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee if you are looking for Native American History.

This book was written very well with a direct account all the way through. I have Cherokee blood in my family, and I was very alarmed at how evil and greedy Andrew Jackson, Grant, and all that were involved in forcing the Indians out of their lands. Greed, gold hungry, revenge, entitlement. These are all the words that title this book efficiently. Well rounded account of what may be left out when the schools teach today!
