Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims. By Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins.
The book description is short, and speaks volumes, so I'm going to repeat it:
Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims is the first known autobiography by an a Native American woman. Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins' riveting, heartbreaking memoir is both a history of the Piute Indian tribe and an account of the devastation caused to the Piute people after their first contact with white men in the nineteenth century.
I'd like to give my personal political historical opinion, on the subjects in the book, but the last time that I did on a book containing subjects like this, someone accused me of being anti-American (I hope that I'm representing his or her views accurately; I did not go back and search for the messages in that short exchange of opinions).
