From the Deep Woods to Civilization: Chapters in the Autobiography of an Indian (Classic Reprint)

Indian Boyhood, published first in 1902 and in many subsequent editions, pictures the first of three distinct periods in the life of the writer of this book. His childhood and youth were a part of the free wilderness life of the first American a life that is gone forever! By dint of much persuasion, the story has now been carried on from the point of that plunge into the unknown with which the first book ends, a change so abrupt and so overwhelming that the boy of fifteen felt as if he were dead and travelling to the spirit land. We are now to hear of a single-hearted quest throughout eighteen years of adolescence and eariy maturity, for the attainment of the modem ideal of Christian culture: and again of a quarter of a century devoted to testing that hardwon standard in various fields of endeavor.
