From the pre-face: The following narratives have been carefully compiled from a large mass of material which has been accumulated during the many years which the author has devoted to the study of American history. They comprise the incidents which were considered most striking and remarkable and best calculated to afford the reader an adequate idea of the Indians their peculiar modes of warfare, and their general character. And, to show you how long ago this book was written. It is a remarkable fact that the Indians, as a mass, remain now nearly in the same state as they were found by the first discoverers of the New World.
