We ourselves sit before our warm fires and talk of the deeds of the redman.

We while away an hour by reading Pontiac's siege of Detroit, of the battle of Braddock's fields, and of Custer's last charge.

We lay the book down with a fervent expression of thankfulness that the day of the horrible redman is past.

Because little has been written on the subject, no thought is given to the long years of deceit and treachery practiced upon Pontiac; we are ignorant of the causes which led to the slaughter of Braddock's army, and we know little of the life of bitterness suffered by Sitting Bull.
Many intelligent white men, who were acquainted with the true life of the Indian before he was harassed and driven to desperation by the pioneers, said that he had been cruelly wronged.

Many white men in those days loved the Indian life so well that they left the settlements and lived with the Indians.
