The Day the Sun Died

Dale Van Every

4.9/5 (9085 ratings)

Description:A Paiute prophet had a vision--of the Messiah returning with the dead, of Indian land as it had been before the white man came. The story spread on the embittered reservations, among the Shoshone, the Crow, the Blackfeet, the Cheyenne, and, finally, the warlike Sioux. With it came a violently ecstatic dance, a mixture of Christian and pagan ritual through which the Indians sought, finally and irrevocably, to repossess their heritage. The day the sun died a wave of hysteria began which swept through the country, rattled Washington up to the White House, and eventually sent troop trains rumbling to the Midwest. Talk of a Ghost Dance, of Indians running wild, reclaiming their land, had settlers moving and soldiers reliving Little Big Horn. The day the sun died a suicidal atmosphere was born, a blend of mysticism and arrogance which spiraled relentlessly toward a violent confrontation. The violence came December 29, 1890, at Wounded Knee.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
