Sixty Years of Indian Affairs: Political, Economic, and Diplomatic, 1789-1850

No romantic reconstruction of the history of the Indian, this book is an objective account of the white man’s treatment of the Indian based on records long buried in inaccessible archives. The elaborate treaties with the numerous Indian tribes illuminate the tragic saga of the gradual removal of the Indian from reservation to reservation, farther and farther west, and reveal the virtual extinction of a noble race.

Originally published in 1941.
