When it was first published in 1928, Luther Standing Bear's
autobiographical account of his tribe and tribesmen was hailed by
Van Wyck Brooks as "one of the most engaging and veracious we have
ever had." It remains a landmark in Indian literature, among the
first books about Indians written from the Indian point of view by
an Indian.
Born in the 1860s, the son of a Lakota chief, Standing Bear was
in the first class at Carlisle Indian School, witnessed the Ghost
Dance uprising from the Pine Ridge Reservation, toured Europe with
Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, and devoted his later years to the
Indian rights movement of the 1920s and 1930s.
