{"product_id":"9780786738120","title":"Standing Bear Is a Person: The True Story of a Native American's Quest for Justice","description":"In a federal courtroom in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1879, Standing Bear, clan chief of the small and peaceful Ponca tribe, was in court demanding the same basic right that white Americans enjoyed-the right to be recognized legally as a human being. 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\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus\u003c\/i\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, \u003ci\u003eStanding Bear Is a Person\u003c\/i\u003e is a captivating read.","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127599481072,"sku":"9780786738120","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786738120_p0.jpg?v=1769906156","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786738120","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
