BOOKS
 Steve Hendricks

Began researching Indian issues several years before starting on The Unquiet Grave because he was disturbed by the grim neglect that prevails in much of Indian Country. After reading Peter Matthiessen’s monumental In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (1983), Steve wondered what had been uncovered about the struggle between the FBI and the American Indian Movement in the years since. The short answer: not much. He decided to write The Unquiet Grave to fill part of the void
