<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Tears Of Silence tells the story of the Sioux Nation and the Plains Indian Wars that filled the twenty-eight year period from the Mankato hangings in 1862 through the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. The devastating effects it has on the family that escaped to Dakota Territory to live in the Black Hills with the Lakota band of One Horn.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Anton McAllister leads his Dakota family west to escape the white backlash after the US-Dakota War of 1862. Settling into the Black Hills, they merge with the Miniconjou Lakota band of Lone Horn. Anton's adopted son, Four Wings, befriends the militant warrior Crazy Horse, and their world is turned upside down as they deal with disingenuous treaties, an illegal war brought on by the Grant Administration, and a deranged bounty hunter no larger than a child.</p><p>Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, and powerful men from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations make their stand when the army begins to build forts along the Bozeman Trail. Captain Fetterman and 80 men are killed near Fort Phil Kearny, and the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie is signed.</p><p>Red Cloud wins his war, the great herds of buffalo are methodically destroyed, the Ghost Dance is introduced to the Pine Ridge Reservation and brought to the Standing Rock Reservation. Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull are murdered, and Wounded Knee Creek becomes the death wail of a free Sioux Nation.</p><p>And throughout it all, Four Wings struggles to reconcile the good white men he has known, including the mixed blood who raised him, with those who seek to subdue or destroy the Sioux Nation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"...it is a book everyone should read to better understand our country's shameful past"..."The author takes you into the mind and heart of each character. I love that the people are not just "good" or "bad"; they evolve with the story as they search for their own understanding of what is happening. Each has to reckon with his or her own conscience as she or he chooses what path to take. You see how an honorable, sincere man can be profoundly shaken to the core and temporarily lose his way after witnessing unimaginable atrocities."</p><br>
