Dark Hills to Westward

Dark Hills to Westward: The Saga of Jennie Wiley is a book written by Harry M. Caudill.  It was first published in 1969.

Description[]

The marauding Indians murdered and scalped Jennie Wiley's brother and children. They dragged her off into the Kentucky wilderness, where she underwent every brutality known to man. But they couldn't break gallant Jennie Wiley's spirit. This book tells the other side of the true and shocking history of BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE. True, the white man robbed and murdered the Indian. But as author Harry Caudill writes, "Between 1492 and 1892 more white people-men, women and children-perished at the hands of Indians than were killed on all America's battlefields, at home or abroad."
