The Indian Before the Law (1884) - Hardcover

by Henry Spackman Pancoast (Author)

The Indian Before The Law is a book written by Henry Spackman Pancoast in 1884. The book explores the legal status of Native Americans in the United States during the late 19th century. Pancoast examines the historical treatment of Native Americans by the government and the judicial system, including the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the Dawes Act of 1887. He also discusses the various court cases that have shaped the legal status of Native Americans, such as Worcester v. Georgia and Standing Bear v. Crook. Pancoast argues that Native Americans have been denied their rights as citizens and that the government has failed to uphold its treaty obligations. The book provides a detailed analysis of the legal and political issues surrounding Native American rights and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Native American law in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
