Book Synopsis

Trade Review
"A stimulating and well-written work. As the only book to deal comprehensively with the developments that flowed from the Standing Bear controversy, it stands to make a significant contribution to American Indian history." --Albert Hurtado, author of Indian Survival on the California Frontier and coeditor of Major Problems in American Indian History "This unique, insightful book draws on a vast array of manuscript, diary, and printed sources, and is the most complete compilation of Standing Bear material under one cover." -- C. Blue Clark, author of Lone Wolf v Hitchcock: Indian Rights at the End of the Nineteenth Century
