The history of the United States from the Civil War to World War II is the canvas of this double biography of the most famous Native American of his time--physician Charles Ohiyesa Eastman--and the white woman he met at the Wounded Knee Massacre in late 1890 and married, Elaine Goodale. Bonded by love and the trauma they witnessed, this mixed-race couple wrote 22 books, gave speeches, lobbied Congress, and organized Indian communities, investing their lives in changing U.S. policies that progressively reduced the power and resources of Indigenous Americans.
