Jones recreates with consummate skill a tumultuous episode in the white man's war against the Indian. Arrest Sitting Bull is a spine-chilling novel of death and deception, of misunderstanding and bureaucratic bungling, of attempts at conciliation and of burning hatred-all of which combine to sow the seeds of disaster ----------------It is December 1890. The ghost dance, the frenzied invocation of the Messiah who will help the Indians to destroy the white man, has swept through the Teton Sioux reservations of the Dakotas, creating panic among white ranchers and farmers nearby. On two of the South Dakota reservations, inept management by politically appointed agents has created a state of anarchy. But at the agency in North Dakota-Standing Rock-there is potentially the most explosive situation of all. It is near here that old Sitting Bull has established a dance camp and has drawn about him many fanatic followers. --------------------Tensions continue to rise as agent James McLaughlin, called Father Whitehair by the Indians, struggles to prevent the inevitable explosion; Standing Elk, McLaughlin's most trusted Indian policeman, realizes that he is not "quite ready to be a white man"; Willa Mae Favory, agency schoolteacher, tentatively reaches out to Standing Elk for the love she has never had; and Sitting Bull himself, in his camp some distance away, remains implacable. He must be stopped.The order goes out: Arrest Sitting Bull. And the confrontation comes, more dreadful than any had feared New Terms 2018 ************************************************************ THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US - WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
