Excerpt from Archives of Science, Vol. 1In order to be able to judge on this point we must know what the life of a savage is. My object at the present time is to' impart some information in regard to the life of the North American Indians. My remarks apply principally to the Pawness as they were more than twenty years ago, when I resided with them for about three years. What facts I propose to give, were derived from personal obser vation. In some respects I was not so favorably situated to learn all their customs and manners, as some others. My object was not so much to enquire of them, as to teach them. To acquire their language and to give instruction, required all the energies I could command. The time allowed me at present, would not be sufficient to give all that would be necessary to a perfect understanding of the chequered life of those wild men, the Arabs of the prai rie, as they were often denominated. It would require an ordinary sized volume to do them justice. But let us occupy faithfully what time we have.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
