[Review Of] James Mooney. The Ghost-Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890, David M. Gradwohl
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
On December 29, 1890, at the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, there occurred one of the most bloody and tragic events in American history -- the massacre of hundreds of American Indians by the US Seventh Cavalry at Wounded Knee Creek.

Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In the introduction to this excellent collection of critical essays on multicultural autobiography Payne states that what sets this work apart from most other works on autobiography, is "the attempt in this volume to bring together different critical voices, each speaking from an area of expertise on a particular American cultural tradition."
