Wounded Knee 1973 : a personal account

Lyman, Stanley David 1913-1979 (Author). O'Neil, Floyd A. (Added Author). Lyman, June K., 1912-2011 (Added Author). McKay, Susan, 1948- (Added Author).

Summary: Publisher description: Stanley Lyman, who was the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) superintendent at the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1973, gives an inside view of what happened when the American Indian Movement (AIM) activists occupied the village of Wounded Knee. Close to the action, he recorded it with unusual candor, directing his sorrow, frustration, and occasional anger to all parties involved -- the Tribal Council, the Justice Department, the BIA, FBI, and AIM. His account of the besiegers and besieged reveals a well-meaning and intelligent man forced by dramatic events to reevaluate some long-cherished assumptions. It deserves to be read and studied in any attempt to understand fully Wounded Knee II.
