Helen Hunt Jackson and Standing Bear

A Tale of Friendship and the Plight of the American Indian

By Chris Enss

Publisher: Globe Pequot

Imprint: TwoDot

Jackson’s friendship with Chief Standing Bear and her daring efforts to publish a book about the broken promises of the United States government made with the Native Americans is a compelling story. During the three years it took Jackson to write the book attempts were twice made on her life. There was a lot of speculation about who tried to kill her, including many politicians who resented her association with Chief Standing Bear and the book she was working on, but no one was ever charged with the crimes.
