This copy has been SIGNED by Peter Matthiessen on the title page! This is the 1991 re-issue of this powerful classic Matthiessen title which was kept off the shelves for eight years because of one of the most protracted and bitterly fought legal cases in publishing history - which makes clear why the traditional Indian concept of the sacred inviolability of the earth is so important, all the more so as increasing populations destroy the precious resources of the world. In an epilogue to this edition, the author presents startling new evidence supporting Peltier's repeated claims of innocence and argues persuasively that at the very least he deserves a new - and fair - trial. And attorney Martin Garbus contributes a new afterword, chronicling the legal battle to block the book's publication. Seller Inventory # 6053
