A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ubrar PREFACE. There is in all the checkered history of America nr chapter of more general interest than that which tells of the Aborigines and our dealings with them. It narrates a story often shameful, often noble, sometimes pusillani mous, sometimes heroic, now causing us to blush with shame for fallen human nature, now kindling us with enthusiastic admiration for humanity that seems almost divine; but always full of power to thrill the heart, of romance to captivate the fancy, and of rich food to nourish earnest thought. To the man of war and to the man of peace, to the statesman and to the Christian teacher, to the sci entist, and to the romanticist, it makes with equal direct ness its irresistible appeal. It is the object of the present volume to relate the story of the Sioux, more properly the Dakota I ndians, and our relations with them. Of all the aboriginal people, they were the greatest, the bravest in war, the wisest in peace, the most powerful in body, the most advanced in mind.
