About this product
Product Information
This book restores a little-known advocate of Indian rights to her place in history. In June 1889, a widowed Brooklyn artist named Catherine Weldon travelled to the Standing Rock Reservation in Dakota Territory to help Sitting Bull hold onto land that the government was trying to wrest from his people. Since the Sioux chieftain could neither read nor write English, he welcomed the white woman's offer to act as his secretary and lobbyist. Her efforts were counterproductive; she was ordered to leave the reservation, and the Standing Rock Sioux were bullied into signing away their land. But she returned with her teen-age son, settling at Sitting Bull's camp on the Grand River. In recognition of her unusual qualities, Sitting Bull's people called her Toka heya mani win, 'Woman Walking Ahead'. Predictably, the press vilified Weldon, calling her 'Sitting Bull's white squaw' and accusing her of inciting Sitting Bull to join the Ghost Dance religion then sweeping the West. In fact, Weldon opposed the movement, arguing that the army would use the Ghost dance as an excuse to jail or kill Sitting Bull. Unfortunately she was right.

Reviews
Pollack's intriguing book is more than a biography of an Indian chief and a nineteenth-century reformer. . . Pollack satisfactorily fills in details about Weldon, her emotional relationship with Sitting Bull, and her motivations that drove her to involve herself in the lives of the Lakotas., This study is an important addition to the history of women's work among the Indians. It has a wealth of information about various reformers including Lyman Abbot, the Blands, and Alfred Meacham, but most importantly it portrays the life of a remarkable Victorian woman who saw beauty in Sitting Bull's way of life., It is a fascinating historical side trip and a detective story full of false leads, tantilizing clues, and ultimate satisfaction., Pollack's discoveries about Weldon are significant, and she restores this figure to her rightful place in history. . . Pollack provides an excellent overview of nineteenth century U.S. Indian policy and of white reform groups, and she spells out the complex political situation and life of Sitting Bull.

I gave bid on the Bible and WON!
It is a used book there is some wear but it was described when it was on sail no surprises.
Transaction was fast and easy I was notified about my bid being accepted. Shipped out in very good time.
I of course would have liked no shipping fee but I got a good bargain with my bid making up a little bit. I do understand about shipping and I wanted the book so this was a good fair deal for me Thank you I’ll shop here again bid or no bid.
