About This Book
A firsthand account of several years spent on the Great Plains, combining eyewitness narrative with ethnographic observation of Plains Indian life. The author describes ceremonial practices such as the Sioux sun-dance, burial rites, language samples, daily meals, and material culture, alongside episodes of raids, skirmishes, and encounters with army officers and missionaries. Portraits of prominent leaders and trading relations appear with travel scenes, natural-history notes, maps, and reflections on origins and federal policy, presented as a mixture of anecdote, reportage, and practical commentary.
