Book excerpt: This historical work presents an incredible and precise account of the history of settlement in America, giving an excellent overview of the Indian people of north and south America. When America was discovered, it was occupied by a race of men unlike any tribe already known. They were known as Indians from the West Indies, where they were first witnessed, and which Columbus, according to the popular opinion of that age, assumed to be a part of the East Indies. This history stands out from others on the same subject, as American author, Samuel G. Goodrich, has presented it very accurately, focusing on making the general reader acquainted with the relevant facts about the subject without being too wordy or making the text incomprehensible. This work is a part of his series, beginning in 1827 under the name of Peter Parley, that dealt with topics related to geography, biography, history, science, and various other tales.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Indians of North and South America When America was first discovered, it was found to be inhabited by a race of men different from any already known. They were called Indians, from the West Indies, where they were first seen, and which Columbus, according to the common opinion of that age, sup posed to be a part of the East Indies. On exploring the coasts and the interior of the vast continent, the same singular people, in different varieties, were every where discovered. Their general conformation and features, character, habits, and customs were too evidently alike not to render it proper to class them under the same common name; and yet there were sufficient diversities, in these respects, to allow of grouping them in minor divisions, as families or tribes. These frequently took their names from the parts of the country where they lived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis A History of the Indians of the United States by : Angie Debo
Download or read book A History of the Indians of the United States written by Angie Debo. This book was released on 2013-04-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1906 when the Creek Indian Chitto Harjo was protesting the United States government's liquidation of his tribe's lands, he began his argument with an account of Indian history from the time of Columbus, "for, of course, a thing has to have a root before it can grow." Yet even today most intelligent non-Indian Americans have little knowledge of Indian history and affairs those lessons have not taken root. This book is an in-depth historical survey of the Indians of the United States, including the Eskimos and Aleuts of Alaska, which isolates and analyzes the problems which have beset these people since their first contacts with Europeans. Only in the light of this knowledge, the author points out, can an intelligent Indian policy be formulated. In the book are described the first meetings of Indians with explorers, the dispossession of the Indians by colonial expansion, their involvement in imperial rivalries, their beginning relations with the new American republic, and the ensuing century of war and encroachment. The most recent aspects of government Indian policy are also detailed the good and bad administrative practices and measures to which the Indians have been subjected and their present situation. Miss Debo's style is objective, and throughout the book the distinct social environment of the Indians is emphasized—an environment that is foreign to the experience of most white men. Through ignorance of that culture and life style the results of non-Indian policy toward Indians have been centuries of blundering and tragedy. In response to Indian history, an enlightened policy must be formulated: protection of Indian land, vocational and educational training, voluntary relocation, encouragement of tribal organization, recognition of Indians' social groupings, and reliance on Indians' abilities to direct their own lives. The result of this new policy would be a chance for Indians to live now, whether on their own land or as adjusted members of white society. Indian history is usually highly specialized and is never recorded in books of general history. This book unifies the many specialized volumes which have been written about their history and culture. It has been written not only for persons who work with Indians or for students of Indian culture, but for all Americans of good will.
