The Boys Book About Indians Being What I Saw And Heard For Three Years On The Plains PDF Download

Excerpt from The Boy's Book About Indians: Being What I Saw and Heard for Three Years on the Plains The interest which boys are taking in all that relates to our Indian tribes, and the greedi ness they manifest in devouring the sensational stories published so cheaply, filling their imagi nations with stories of wild Indian life on the plains and borders, without regard to their truth fulness, cannot but be harmful; and therefore the writer, after three years' experience on the plains, feels desirous of giving youthful minds a right direction, in a true history of the red men Of our forests. Thus can they teach their chil dren, in time to come, what kind of races have peopled this continent; especially before civili zation had marked them for destruction, and their hunting-grounds for our possession.
