Dee Brown was een gevierd auteur, bekend om zijn klassieke werk dat de systematische vernietiging van Native American stammen aan een wereldwijd publiek blootlegde. Zijn schrijfstijl concentreerde zich vaak op de geschiedenis van de frontier en over het hoofd geziene momenten van de Burgeroorlog, waarbij hij vaak inging op de verhalen van hen aan de rand van de samenleving. Brown deed onderzoek en schreef met een diepgaand begrip en een empathische benadering van de Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Zijn werken resoneren nog steeds en bieden waardevolle inzichten in het verleden.
