Here is the original 1887 First Edition of Elbridge S. Brook’s work on the American Indian. Much of the 19th Century literature on the American Indian painted Indians as blood thirsty savages based on ignorance and Prejudice. It was Brook’s intention to correct this inaccurate picture and arrange a story of the North American Indian as he has existed for generations, and as from supremacy in the land of his fathers how he had fallen under the ban of the white civilization that conquered and displaced him.
In the preface Brooks writes:
“The mistreatment of the Indian, a recent writer declares, is one of the abuses of the age, and one of the reproaches of civilization. It is high time that the abuse and the reproach should give place to something like fairness and moral sense. If this story of a race that has played its part in the drama of human progress shall lead readers to exchange indifference for interest and contempt for justice, the labor and study that it has involved will not have been in vain.”
Throughout the book is profusely illustrated with numerous portraits, scenes, photographs, and maps.
