Dorris Alexander “Dee” Brown (1908–2002) was a celebrated author of both fiction and nonfiction, whose classic study Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is widely credited with exposing the systematic destruction of American Indian tribes to a world audience.
Brown was born in Louisiana and grew up in Arkansas. He worked as a reporter and a printer before enrolling at Arkansas State Teachers College, where he met his future wife, Sally Stroud. He later earned two degrees in library science, and worked as a librarian while beginning his career as a writer. He went on to research and write more than thirty books, often centered on frontier history or overlooked moments of the Civil War. Brown continued writing until his death in 2002.

Well...I didn't finish the book. I just couldn't get into it. The book is a collection of short story's from the Civil War battles that took place in the West. So pretty much nothing that was ever talked about in HS or college. I thought this would be interesting to read. I think I would have had a better appreciation for it if I had read other Civil War books first. Keeping track of the all the names within the chapters was maybe too much for me. I think the first two chapters were interesting, but then it tailed off for me. So for me it was OK and nothing more.
