Reviews

A history involving the law, government policy, treaties, and the military could so easily get mired in technical language. This book never does. Rather, it maintains a crystal clarity, nimbleness, and focus on what matters--the people, their humanity, and what happened. . . . [Dwyer] has created a vivid picture of the events before, during, and after the trial and never loses sight of the story's true hero, Standing Bear. --Judi M. gaiashkibos, executive director of the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs
