Reprinted from the original edition of 1758.

Robert Eastburn, whose "Faithful narrative" is one of the most valuable because one of the undoubted, original authorities relating to the war that destroyed the French power in North America, was captured by a force of French soldiers and Indians, carried to Canada and adopted into an Indian family. He remained there, part of the time with the Indians, and part with the French, for nearly two years. Condensed from introduction.

"The Indians of to-day-what are their numbers? where do they live? how do they subsist? Are they becoming civilized, educated, learning the white man's ways? These are some of the questions which intelligent people are asking, and to which, so far as may be, the answer is given in the pages that follow." Author's preface.

The book is illustrated by many large reproductions of excellent photographs of Indian chiefs.

How was captured at Great Meadow Fort, now Putney, Vermont and taken by the Indians to Canada, where he died in 1747.

The Old North trail; or, Life, legends and religion of the Blackfeet Indians. 1910. Macmillan.

Mr McClintock was adopted as a son by Siyeh or Mad Wolf, a chief and leading orator among the Blackfeet Indians. He has lived among the Blackfeet for 14 years and has made a special study of their life and folklore. He offers us a well written and well illustrated book. Copious descriptions of sacred rites and stories constitute the main interest of the work for the serious student. They bear the signs of the most complete authenticity. No bias, theological or anthropological, is observable. Literary touches are plentiful, but their tone is not false. We have here, in fact, the rather uncommon case of a white man who, being at once sufficiently sympathetic and sufficiently unsophisticated, has managed to acquire the Indian point of view, even while not entirely surrendering his own.

The Indian and his problem. 19г0. Scribner.

For many years a student of the Indian problem and for seven Indian commissioner, Mr Leupp speaks with an authority which he nowhere imposes. The book is delightfully reasonable, full of excellent and significant anecdotes. Against the selfaccusing phrase "a century of dishonor," Mr Leupp protests, substituting "a century of misunderstanding." The difficulty with our Indian policy is that we have too long delayed to deal with the individual Indian. We have legislated instead for the race, or for the tribe. The result has been to prolong the term of tutelage and actually to hold back the Indians who were ready to become citizens. Again and again he insists that the Indian problem is an individual and a human problem. Condensed from Nation, 1910. McKenzie, Fayette Avery.
