Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Isaac H. Bromley If those who knew Isaac H. Bromley were asked to define him in a single word they would say at once that he was a humorist. He was indeed a humorist, and sometimes, especially in the free and easy ex-changes of conversation, his humor was its own and only excuse for being. But in the long series of his articles on the editorial page of the New York Tribune there were few which did not derive their inspiration from the serious purpose to expound a wholesome truth. A single example, drawn from the time when the Indians were an unsolved problem of government, is typical. "Nothing," he wrote, "so kindles the enthusiasm of the Interior Department as the knowledge that a Teton Sioux is wandering through Montana or Dakota in a state of savage unrest. Immediately a committee from the department goes for the Teton, finds him nomadic and discontented, says to him ´How many art thou, O Teton´ and conjures him by his expectation of a lodge in the happy hunting grounds to enter into a treaty and consent to accept an appropriation from the government. Having obtained his reluctant consent to receive aid from the oppressor, the department gets an appropriation and divides it among deserving persons who support the administration on account of its admirable Indian policy." The truth and pungency of that satire are not important to the present generation, but it requires no explanation even now.
