The Hunters Game: Poachers and Conservationists in Twentieth-Century America
ISBN: 9780300080865 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

God's Red Son: The Ghost Dance Religion and the Making of Modern America
ISBN: 9780465015023 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1890, on Indian reservations across the West, followers of a new religion danced in circles until they collapsed into trances. In an attempt to suppress this new faith, the US Army killed over two hundred Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek.
