Description

It was the roaring 20s, and Americans were living the dream, except for…

… those hundreds of Native Americans wrongly committed to our nation’s only Indian insane asylum. Once there, they endured unimaginable torture and abuse with no hope of ever being free. These people were real. Their suffering was real. Their story will touch your very soul.

This powerful, heart-wrenching saga came from the records in the South Dakota State Archives for the Canton Indian insane asylum.

Highly-acclaimed, Fallen Hopes, Taken Dreams is a must-read for historical fiction and Native American fans.

The Story about the insane asylum for native Americans touched my heart. In the way the book was written, the anguish of the inhabitants could literally be felt. The never ending duration of their misery as well. In the middle part, the book kind of dragged along. Almost like the life of the people discribed. I personally liked the book and the way it told the story. I am a non-native English speaker and received a copy of this book for free.
Es ist die Geschichte über die einzige Irrenanstalt für Indianer in den USA. Der Schreibstil war vor allem im Mittleren Teil des Buches etwas langatmig. Dadurch konnte man als Leser fast mitfühlen, wie sich die Jahre der Qual hinzogen. Und was mich bei anderen Büchern gestört hätte, fand ich hier passend. Diese Ruhepausen des ewig wiederkehrenden konnte ich gut gebrauchen, da der Horror des Alltags immer Gegenwärtig war. Ein tolles Buch, was ich nur empfehlen kann.
