American Indians: Facts about Indians

Description

American Indians – Facts about Indians by Frederick Starr New Student Edition This book about American Indians is intended as a reading book for boys and girls in school. The native inhabitants of America are rapidly dying off or changing. Certainly some knowledge of them| their old location| and their old life ought to be interesting to American children. Naturally the author has taken material from many sources. He has himself known some thirty different Indian tribes; still he could not possibly secure all the matter herein presented by personal observation. In a reading book for children it is impossible to give reference acknowledgment to those from whom he has drawn. By a series of brief notes attention is called to those to whom he is most indebted: no one is intentionally omitted. While intended for young people and written with them only in mind| the author will be pleased if the book shall interest some older readers. Should it do so| may it enlarge their sympathy with our native Americans. Native Americans – Indian History – American Indians – Native Inhabitants – School Study
