Inscribed by the author on the title page. "Of these numerous records from Standing Rock, perhaps the most historically significant is the newly recognized Sitting Bull Surrender Census. Not only does this document preserve the earliest detailed enumeration of every Lakota man, woman, and child at the agency, it was also conducted at a critical juncture in their history, just as the last of the bands under Sitting Bull returned from Canada and rejoined their relatives. Viewed within the context of the rich documentary sources of Standing Rock, the Sitting Bull Surrender Census presents a remarkable snapshot of Lakota families and communities."
