Renegades, The Second Battle Of Wounded Knee

SUSAN L. M. HUCK

Publication: American Opinion, 1973, Belmont, Massachusetts

First Edition. Pictorial Wrappers. 14pp. Illustrated, primarily from photographs. A contemporary account of events unfolding on the reservation of the Oglala Sioux in South Dakota, as A.I.M.-the American Indian Movement violently intimidated and attacked Oglala tribal leaders and members, and initiated the second Battle of Wounded Knee. A very direct criticism of A. I. M., its philosophy, its actions, and especially its leaders and supporters. "The Oglala Sioux are now under attack by the revolutionaries of A.I.M.--Criminal renegades armed with Soviet AK-47 assault rifles and backed by federal funds, assorted Communists, and the usual "Liberal" clergymen. The Tribal Council of the Oglala Sioux voted fourteen to two to evict the invaders, but federal marshals refused to let them do the job". "Banks and Belcourt bear about as much resemblance to Sitting Bull as Al Capone did to George Washington". A very interesting account at an extremely important time in the history of the Oglala Sioux. Slight tanning around the edges, else a fine copy.
