They Scatter Their Own

The book is about the relationship between the Lakota Sioux, the US Army, the US Government, and the slow and methodical destruction of the Lakota way of life.

The books start at the California Gold Rush and describe the first-person narrative of events such as the battle of Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee.

American Manifest Destiny was the guide that governed the policy and attitude toward the Lakota, which led to misunderstandings, mistrust, and war. The book exposes the reasons for the actions of the Lakota and the US Army. It exposes the human stories that shaped the era from 1849 to 1891.

It also exposes the stories within a story and some minor characters of history that were not headlined in history books. It is a concise account of forty-one years of turbulence on the American Plains that shaped American lives forever.
