Description: 259 pp. Uncommon account of Lakota Sioux life from the inside. Illustrated. From the Preface: "White men seem to have difficulty in realizing that people who live differently from themselves still might be traveling the upward and progressive road of life......The Lakotas are now a sad, silent, and unprogressive people suffering the fate of all oppressed. Today you see but a shattered specimen, a caricature, if you please, of the man that once was. Did a kind, wise, helpful, and benevolent conqueror bring this situation about? Can a real, true, genuinely superior social order work such havoc? Did not thenative American possess human qualities of worth had the Caucasian but been able to discern and accept them; and did not an overweening sense of superiority bring about this blindness?...These questions may be answered in the light of the reader’s sense of justice and quality of imagination. As for myself I risk this indulgence and say: Of my old life I have much to remember with pride." Well preserved copy of scarce title. Binding solid and square, text unmarked.
