The Autobiography of a Winnebago Indian (1920)

Paul Radin

The Autobiography of a Winnebago Indian is a book written by Paul Radin and published in 1920. It is an autobiographical account of the life of a Winnebago Indian named Sam Blowsnake. The book covers Sam's experiences growing up in the Winnebago tribe, his education at a government boarding school, and his involvement in the Ghost Dance movement. Sam's story provides insight into the cultural and social changes experienced by Native Americans during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book also offers a unique perspective on the relationship between Native Americans and the United States government during this time period. Radin, a prominent anthropologist, worked closely with Sam to document his life story. The book is considered an important contribution to the field of Native American studies and has been widely read and studied by scholars and students alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
