Indian Biography, Vol. 1

"Indian Biography" in 2 volumes is a historical and biographical account of people who have been distinguished among the North American natives as orators, warriors, statesmen, and other remarkable characters.
From the Preface: The following work does not require an elaborate explanation or an apology of any kind. It is, historically, a mere act of justice to the fame and the memories of many wise, brilliant, brave and glorious men-patriots, orators, warriors and statesmen, who ruled over barbarian communities and were indeed themselves barbarians, but whose influence, eloquence and success of every description were therefore but the nobler objects of admiration and the worthier subjects for record.
