Description

Warren King Moorehead was known in his time as the 'Dean of American archaeology' born in Siena, Italy to missionary parents on March 10, 1866, he died on January 5, 1939.A contract to write for a national magazine about the "Ghost Dance" phenomenon on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation put Moorehead on the scene for the critical weeks leading up to what is now known as the Wounded Knee Massacre of Dec. 29, 1890. Moorehead was not present, though his camera was apparently used by journalists who were still on the scene to record the horrific aftermath; Gen. John Rutter Brooke ordered Moorehead off the reservation under armed military escort on Dec. 28, according to Moorehead's journal because he was the only reporter present who spoke some of the language and was permitted to stay overnight with the Sioux in their encampments."Wanneta, the Sioux" of the Sioux Indians of the 1800s, based largely on fact. "Wanneta, the Sioux" is similar to another popular best-seller of that time period, "Ramona" by Helen Hunt Jackson, most known for her historical work "A Century of Dishonor about mistreatment of Native American people across the continent".The success of Moorehead's "Wanneta" led to a lecture tour across the east coast in the fall of 1890.Table of ContentsI.
