"The waning years of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of a new kind of journalism in the United States, one that not only challenged government and corporate power, but also turned to sordid crimes and scandals for much of its material. Sensational, shocking, and lurid, this new style of reporting came to be known as yellow journalism. The trend influenced newspapers across the country, and its role in building public support for the Spanish-American War has become the stuff of legend. This book traces the development of yellow journalism and demonstrates its impact"--Provided by publisher.

"Sitting Bull, a Sioux chief, lived a life filled with difficulty and determination. He was alive during a time of great hardship for Native Americans in the western United States, when Native communities were being pushed from their homelands onto territory in the South. This is his remarkable story of staunch resistance and perseverance."--OCLC.
