Description: The history of the United States from the Civil War to World War II is the canvas of this double biography of the most famous Native American of his time--physician Charles Ohiyesa Eastman--and the white woman he met at the Wounded Knee Massacre in late 1890 and married, Elaine Goodale. Bonded by love and the trauma they witnessed, this mixed-race couple wrote 22 books, gave speeches, lobbied Congress, and organized Indian communities, investing their lives in changing U.S. policies that progressively reduced the power and resources of Indigenous Americans.
Review Quotes: "An inherently interesting work of seminal and meticulous scholarship by history professor Gretchen Cassel Eick, They Met at Wounded Knee: The Eastmans' Story is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Native American Studies collections and supplemental curriculum lists."
