Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pursued: A Tale of the Yellowstone I dedicate this book, as I did Under the Avalanche, to my son frank. Like it, it deals with a phase of Indian life of 'which, as yet, we have not heard much. The Red Man was not always on the war-path. Like other men, he had a home and a religion but, like other men, he said little about them to the stranger or the enemy. As Sequoyah says, 'the sight depends on the seer 3 the rough and cruel come amongst us, and see only the rough and cruel; they think they alone can tell stories, and they will not hear the stories of the Indian.' How significant these stories may be is shown in Miss Emerson's Indian Myths, where some of the legends told herein appear in other garb.
