The Middle Five, written by the Omaha ethnologist Francis La Flesche, is a series of vignettes portraying La Flesche’s childhood growing up on the Omaha Reservation and attending a Presbyterian mission school. Published in 1909, the book portrays both the cultural conflicts arising from the assimilatory nature of the mission school and the youthful escapades of Frank (La Flesche’s younger self), Brush, Edwin, Warren, and Lester, who together make up the titular gang of schoolboys called the “Middle Five.” Like Zitkála-Šá’s short story “The School Days of an Indian Girl” from American Indian Stories, The Middle Five depicts life in an American Indian residential school, but takes place much closer to the reservation and thus portrays the interactions between the mission school and reservation life. It is regarded as a classic work of Native American literature and is often assigned in classrooms as a vivid firsthand account of 19th-century indigenous life.

Excerpt from The Middle Five: Indian Boys at School This introduction is a genuine one, for all the boys who appear in these sketches have really lived and played a part in the incidents herein recorded. Each little actor, including the writer, made his entrance upon the stage of life. In the tee-pee or in the dome-shaped earth lodge; for, in the years when we boys were born, only the aboriginal dwellings were in use among our people, the Omaha tribe of Indians. Like all the in fants for countless generations in the line of our ancestry, we too had to pass through the cradle-board period while our bones ripened, as the Indians say, and grew strong enough, to bear the weight of our bodies When at last our mothers gave us liberty to creep and to toddle about, we promptly used that free dom to get into all sorts of mischief as we explored the new and wonderful world in. Which we found ourselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
