Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Experiences of Five Christian Indians, of the Pequod Tribe It is not my intention to descend to particulars in this pamphlet, any farther, than to notice the origin of my life, for the purpose of giving the youth a transient view between their condition and mine; or those poor children of the forest, who have had taken from them their once delightful plains, and homes of their peaceful habitations; their fathers and mothers torn from their dwellings, and they left to mourn, and drop a tear, and die, over the ruins of their ancient sires. Perhaps you may ask, why is this? I answer, because of deception and power, assisted with the fiery waters of the earth - Rum. Such, my young friends, was the case of this poor self-taught Indian youth, whose experience you are about to read. My parentage, according to the custom of the country, was none of the least - being the descendant of a Chief, or the head officer of the nation. But this availed nothing with me; the land of my fathers was gone; and their characters were not known, as human beings, - but as beasts of prey. We were represented as having no souls to save, or to lose; but as partridges upon the mountains. All these degrading titles were heaped upon us. Thus you see, we had to bear all this tide of degradation; while prejudice, stung every white man, from the oldest to the youngest, to the very centre of the heart.
