<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Through meticulous research, <em>Hidden Disgrace</em> pierces through the veil of descriptions of Indians as either savages or "Noble Savages" and describes them as real people with both strengths and weaknesses. Likewise, it takes a hard look at the notion the conquest of North and South America by Europeans was "inevitable" and was, in reality, the result of deliberate choices.</p><p>Books that dive beneath the superficial explanations of Westward Expansion are often criticized as being "revisionist history." Such claims ignore the obvious explanation that aspects of history cannot be "revised" if they were never reported properly in the recording of history.</p><p>Among other historically documented myths, <em>Hidden Disgrace</em> explains why the casting of the Wounded Knee Massacre as the result of an attempt to suppress an uprising fueled by the "Ghost Dance" is patently absurd. Important facts surrounding that dark episode in United States history are often ignored, miscast, or misrepresented altogether.</p><p>With this work, the author seeks to shed light on the true course of history.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"[<em>Hidden Disgrace</em>] is an uncommon history book because it presents North American Indian history<br /> from both perspectives--white and Native American.... Fierst questions what is omitted from<br /> history books and who decides what is omitted. He asks, 'Who will ensure the writing of Indian<br /> history is subjected to rigorous analysis?' His book is what history books should be--easy, interesting<br /> reading for historians, academicians, the lay public, and historiographers."<br /> <strong>--Dr. Thomas S. Smith, Sr., K-16 educator and author of<br /> <em>Just a Piece of Red String Novel Series</em> (Civil War historical fiction)</strong></p><p>"I will never forget meeting David at the Chicago pow wow [in 2014] where our friendship began.<br /> I immediately saw the strength of his character. David has an ethical persona that can change our<br /> lives forever. When he told me about his quest, I knew I wanted to encourage him on this journey.<br /> Over the years he dedicated himself to finding the truth through his diligence, and you'll find that<br /> reflected within these pages. Prepare to discover truths as they have never been explained before."<br /> <strong>--Yvonne Moore, Ojibwe and Odawa activist, psychologist, <br /> mother, grandmother, and great grandmother</strong></p><br>
