Our Wild Indians

As one of the first attempts to portray Native Americans as they actually were and not the typically romanticized version that treated the Indian as alternately an unmitigated savage or a dashing bold hero fighting for his native land, this volume was critically acclaimed upon its debut in 1883. Fully illustrated with portraits on steel and featuring an introduction written by General William Tecumseh Sherman, this volume chronicles 33 years of experience amongst Native Americans of the West, including observations on their social life, religion, habits, traits, customs and exploits. This is an important record of American history.
