Excerpt from The American Indian: Uh-Nish-in-Na-Ba, the Whole Subject Complete in One Volume, Illustrated With Numerous Appropriate Engravings The subject of the American Indian has ever been one Of peen liar interest to the ethnologist and student of history; but at no time since the discovery of America has it attracted so much attention as is being given to it at the present day. Volumes upon volumes have been written concerning it in its varied relations, but still it is not exhausted; and indeed the changing circumstances of the American race present at this day a phase Of this subject, calling for its renewed presentation in more complete and comprehensive form. Amidst the vast number of books published concerning this mysterious people since the discovery of America, there seems to be none now in print presenting their history in a succinct classified form, at the same time reaching out and taking in every phase of the Indian subject, to the satisfaction of the general reader. This book has therefore been prepared with reference to this long felt want, and is such a work as the public mind and student of history now seem to demand. As the title indicates, it comprises the whole Indian subject in complete and comprehensive form. In other words, it is a sort Of cyclopaedia on the subject of the American Indian in all its phases and bearings as shown by the table of contents following; grouping together in condensed form, and within such limited space as the subject will admit Of, the varied information comprised in that vast field Of research in American history, not to be found in any single work of this kind heretofore published, containing many special features, which are highly interesting and valuable to the general reader.
