Description: ARREST SITTING BULL ( Indian Wars novel) Douglas Jones New York 1977, Scribner's, US First edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 6x9, VG/VG condition, ( dj price clipped) 249 pages. -------------Once again Douglas C. 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.

Although expensive, many times they are cheaper than what I could send it for by US Mail – and much more secure.

VINTAGE PAPERBACK BOOKS Please be aware that the binding glue in vintage paperbacks is likely to be much drier than newer books, and thus more fragile than more modern printings.

PLEASE DO NOT START ASKING WHERE IT IS IN A WEEK OR TWO AND ACCUSE ME OF NOT SENDING THE ITEM - SLOW DELIVERY TIMES BY THE POST OFFICE ARE NOT MY FAULT, PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT THE AVERAGE TIMES I HAVE STATED.
