Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Creek Mary's Blood

Decades before Hitler over ran Europe, The United States systematically set out to destroy the Native American Nations.This novel is rich in history. Long before the Trail Of Tears, Creek Mary was speaking out for her people not to give another inch of their land but her people were deported to Oklahoma anyway. The story winds on as the main characters continually pick themselves up from disaster and go on.They find freedom on the plains, plenty of buffalo and antelope all too soon to have it ripped from when the California gold rush sends the whites into the northern Indian hunting grounds. Gold is discovered in Colorado. More white men appear, "Pike's Peak or Bust!" Treaties are signed and broken. Indians herded onto reservations find they are starving and they run away to join Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Back Kettle, Man Afraid Of His Horses. In Montana, The Dakotas and Minnesota the Indian tribes find their hunting grounds intact and then gold is discovered in the Black Hills. Sacred to the Native Americans, the Paha Sapa is not for sale so the white government decides to take it by force and here comes the Battle Of Little Bighorn.Dane, the main character lives through it all, sees children and grandchildren born, sees many killed for the sake of the white man's gold. While the free Indians are chased from place to place by white soldiers and given no chance to hunt, the Iron Horse makes it's sudden appearance.
A story so sad that I ended up in tears by the time I finished.This reminded me of the genocide of the Jews.
Against this rich historical background, the main characters interact with each other and try to live out their lives.
In 1833, a French ancestor of mine brought his half breed son out of a Blackfoot tribe into Quebec looking for a wet nurse. Later he ended up buying up land in Vermont. Had he stayed with the Indians, history might have been changed for all of us descendants as the boy would have been raised among the Blackfoot.
I am proud to call myself truly American and not surprised that the Native American prophesy "The Earth Shall Weep," is now coming true.

Criticism About Books Creek Mary's Blood

Excellent tale based on historical facts, of four generations of Native American (Cherokee) family of "Creek Mary". Characters include, Tecumseh, Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, Red Cloud, and Crazy Horse. Story is told in remembrances to a newspaper reporter, by Dane, the only relative left of Creek Mary's family. It is a story of Native Americans content to live on their own land, versus the inexhaustible greed and avarice of white settlers. A "keeper". Highly recommended.

I am now in Kansas and our Indians and many other tribes got shoved over the reservations in Oklahoma. I went to Ponca City, Oklahoma to see a Pow Wow where many of the tribes were relocated to. It is so sad that this country felt the need to wipe out the tribes. This book focuses on a lady trying to preserve her land and family but she ended up in Oklahoma also.

AwesomeThis book gave such a vivid picture of the way the Federal Government treated the Native Americans. It showed how a proud people went through such horrific treatment from a nation that was a true invader in their land

I believe fiction can be true without being entirely factual, and Dee Brown is a well respected historical writer who I think achieved this state. He always tried to make his fiction true, accurate, and non-racist. Because I knew that, I trusted this book. When he described customs and events I didn't know, I believed them. When he added details about things I knew but only in general, in addition to trusting them I felt grateful for his gifts of added depth. Reading books like this is an easy

The title sounded interesting. It took 1/3 of the book to get interesting. I did a bit of research and found the book was kind of based on a real person.

Well, I started out giving this book 4 stars, but decided to read a few other reviews before making it final. A few good points were made by others about things that disturbed me also, such as Jerusha & what made her tick- was it just the 'crush' of a young, naïve daughter of a preacher that Creek Mary recognized & so warned her son Dane about? If so, couldn't she have been more direct about her reason for not wanting them to marry, which I think might have been more typical of the

I love this book - I have a read it a billion times.
