Excerpt from Kitchi-Gami: Wanderings Round Lake Superior Like Longfellow, Kohl frequently gives a romantic and heroic View of the American Indian. He enjoyed writing of the Chippewa's heroic deeds, grand dreams, generous natures, and fondness for children, but the picture he paints is not wholly nostalgic and romantic. He saw also the poverty, cruelty, ignorance, and degradation of the Indians, and for the most part he describes life among the Chippewa as he found it. Obviously, Kohl was fascinated by the new world he had entered, and by the Indians, voyageurs, missionaries, and fur traders he met. He avoided stereotypes and painstakingly attempted to record faithfully what he saw, heard, and felt. At times, Kohl set down his impressions of a scene or an event hurriedly.
