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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Dando-Collins\u003c\/b\u003e is an Australian-born historian, editor, and author.
