Description: "This volume is a compilation of articles from the Omaha Bee, documenting a contemporary view of the events surrounding the Sioux outbreak of 1890 and 1891 that climaxed at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. They represent some of the most widely read and published articles of the day that until now, have never appeared as a complete compilation. Included for the first time under a single cover is the portfolio of articles written by Will Cressey, one of only three reporters present at the controversial fight at Wounded Knee. Presented together as a coherent narrative, these news reports allow today's reader to step back 125 years into the past and vicariously experience the sting of the Omaha Bee, as read by the settlers of the Midwest while events of that troublesome winter unfolded"--Introduction.
