Description
He was a Ponca chief with no country, no rights under U.S. law, and one impossible chance to change that. When the U.S. government forces the Ponca Tribe from their ancestral homeland at gunpoint, Chief Standing Bear loses his son on the road to exile, and makes a vow that will put him on trial for his very right to be considered human.
For Such a Time as This brings to life the true courtroom battle that challenged America’s conscience, set against the brutal backdrop of the Trail of Tears. Readers follow Standing Bear’s harrowing fight against governmental deceit and forced relocation, and witness the unyielding spirit of a people determined to endure.
A story of injustice, quiet defiance, and one man’s fight to prove that a “person” doesn’t need the government’s permission to be one, for anyone who values history, courage, and the triumph of the human spirit.
