The compelling, behind-the-scenes story of that landmark court case, and the subsequent reverberations of the judge's ruling across nineteenth-century America is told in Stephen Dando-Collin's \"brisk and evocative account\" (\u003cem\u003eKirkus\u003c\/em\u003e). It is a story of memorable Old West characters who joined to fight for Standing Bear and paved his way to the courthouse-the former Indian-fighting Army general who changed sides to stand with Standing Bear, the crusading Midwestern newspaper editor who had once been a gun-toting frontier preacher, and the \"most beautiful Indian maiden of her time,\" Bright Eyes. Full of colorful characters, battles of legal wits, and the twists and turns of a cause in search of an audience, \u003cem\u003eStanding Bear Is a Person\u003c\/em\u003e is a captivating read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355740364951,"sku":"9780306814419","price":1804.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780306814419.webp?v=1767308981","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/standing-bear-is-a-person-the-true-story-of-a-native-americans-quest-for-justice-9780306814419","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
