15/21 Each man was a type; each was wrong, and each was right. The Indian as true and noble from the barbaric point of view as the white man. He was a warrior and hunter--made so by circumstances over which he had no control. Guiltless as the panther, because war to a savage is the necessity of life. Narrow-minded, partly brutalized by hard labor and a lonely life, yet an admirable figure for all that. |
