Arkansas: Throwing Curve Balls

During a minor league baseball game in 1920, Dee Brown meets two important Native American figures: a famous Pawnee baseball pitcher for the Arkansas Travelers named Moses Yellow Horse, and a young Creek boy named William Brown. Dee is so impressed and surprised by them both that many years later he writes “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” a novel about Western Expansionism from the perspective of Native Americans.
