[Personal Memoirs Of A Residence Of Thirty Years With The Indian Tribes On The American Frontiers by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft]@TWC D-Link bookPersonal Memoirs Of A Residence Of Thirty Years With The Indian Tribes On The American Frontiers
PREFACE
6/6
Anecdotes and incidents succeed each other without any attempt at method.
The story these incidentally tell, is the story of a people's settling the wilderness.
It is the Anglo-Saxon race occupying the sites of the Indian wigwams.
It is a field in which plumed sachems, farmers, legislators, statesmen, speculators, professional and scientific men, and missionaries of the gospel, figure in their respective capacities.
Nobody seems to have set down to compose an elaborate letter, and yet the result of the whole, viewed by the philosophic eye, is a broad field of elaboration.
HENRY R.SCHOOLCRAFT.
