>Associated Press
>Saturday, December 14, 2002
>
>Dee Brown, whose novel "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" helped bring
>atrocities against Indians to the attention of an American public accustomed
>to tales of heroic cowboys and savage natives, died Thursday of heart
>disease. He was 94.
>
>In that 1971 best seller, Mr. Brown used eyewitness accounts and quotations
>from Indians who lived during the period.
>
>Mr. Brown wrote 28 other books, all on a manual typewriter, examining the
>history of the American West and decline of American Indian culture.
>
>"Hear That Lonesome Whistle Blow: Railroads in the West," a history, turned
>out to be an expose of the treacherous dealings of the railroad companies in
>the development of the West.
