Johnny Cash - Ballads Of The American Indian / Their Thoughts And Feelings / The Battle Of Wounded Knee flac album

The Massacre at Wounded Knee was a terrible battle in American History. This massacre was between the Native Americans and the US government. Back then; the US government hated Native Americans. They would treat Native Americans horribly by killing them, stealing their land and much more. One early and freezing morning on December 29th, 1890, an elderly chief of the Sioux Indians named Big Foot marched to the banks of Wounded Knee creek. Over 350 of his followers marched with him and camped there. Around Wounded Knee creek was US government troops that were going to arrest Big Foot and take all of his followersfollower’s weapons away. Many different controversies started all of this trouble. The Sioux tribe had no buffalo, and they.

Johnny sings eight songs from the point of view of the Native American on this moving 1964 album. Features the hit Ballad of Ira Hayes. Custer is told from the American Indian view point and questions how the battle would have been viewed if the outcome was reversed (a slaughter or a victory). The song does not hold back it's contempt for General Custer. White Girl is the story of an Indian man who is used as a "toy" by a white woman who never intended the relationship to be serious. As Long as the Grass Shall Grow is haunting and beautiful. I would reccomend this to any Johnny Cash or country story teller fans.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West is a 1970 book by American writer Dee Brown that covers the history of Native Americans in the American West in the late nineteenth century.

One of the projects Johnny Cash wanted to do when he was on Sun Records was to record an album of songs from the Old West. Of course, Sam Phillips wouldn't hear of it, but the idea - along with concept albums of gospel, train songs, and others - all came to fruition when he moved to Columbia Records. This concept album is a 20-track set that combines songs and narrations, the bulk of which were recorded in 1965 (the lone exception is Carl Perkins' "The Ballad of Boot Hill," which originates from a 1959 session)

The area near Wounded Knee Creek on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (in South Dakota) is where the last major battle of the American Indian Wars took place. The fight reportedly began when an elderly tribesman refused to hand over his weapon. Troops attacked, and at least 150 members of the Lakota tribe – including men, women, and children – were killed. Honoring the Native American culture by purchasing the historical location will be a major step in helping to make right what went so wrong over a hundred years ago. The event has caused outrage from historians as at least 20 American soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for.

By 1890, the Plains Indians had lost the struggle to defend their territory and way of life against the expansionist United States.
