Life Among the Indians: Or Personal Reminiscences and Historical Incidents Illustrative of Indian Life and Character (Classic Reprint)

No living man, probably, has seen and known more of the Indians in the north-west than my self. During almost seventy years I have been among them, as it were have been acquainted with their principal men, studied their history, character, and manner of life. With me it has not been, as with most who have written about them, a mere matter of theory; for I have been among them, hunted and fished with them, ate and lodged in their wigwams, and been subjected to all the labors, excitements, perils, and privations of life among them. In this long experience and observation, I have gathered up many things which I thought worthy of record. Some of them occurred in my experience as a missionary among them. Kentucky, Ohio, I ndiana, and Michigan, were the great battle-fields between barbarism and civilization in the west.
