Ameritrekking Adventures: Visiting Wounded Knee in South Dakota

This booklet is a sample of a full-length book.  It is Chapter 8 in Ameritrekking and Highpointing: Discovering America the Beautiful.  If you already have that book, don’t buy this booklet.

This short story tells the true tale of the author's visit to Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of a massacre of Native Americans in 1890.

The trip to Wounded Knee happened in the same year as the first Ameritrek, the subject of the main book.  You can travel vicariously to that remote but infamous place and sample the writing at the same time.

The main book, Discovering America the Beautiful, resulted from an 8,000-mile, weeks-long road trip.  Along the way the author visited parks, battlefields, and highpoints, plus much more while driving through 23 states.

Over the years Joseph Whelan drove more than 100,000 miles and spent over a year on the road.  He went to 45 highpoints and many other strange and wonderful places.  He continues to travel and write.  Buy this sample booklet and join the adventure today!
