Our Wild Indians

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. For two years past I have been importuned by friends whose Opinions I value most highly, to give to the world the result of my observations and labors. I have consented to do so, not without hesitation, because having previously written on the same sub ject, I must occasionally repeat myself, or commit the affectation of clothing the same ideas in different words. My friends have overruled this objection, and I'present in this volume a detailed account of the characteristics, habits, and, what I particularly desire to invite attention to, - a minute and careful study of the social or inner life of the wild Indian of the present day.
