Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of John Johnston Those who follow the history of one nation in its relations with its subject races, will read the following narrative with interest. In his official position, as guardian to the ignorant and savage wards of the United States Government, John Johnston saw that the difficulties which he was constantly endeavoring to adjust, were only the beginnings of a long series of blunders, whose end is not even yet. If, in 1835-40, the United States had taken the advice, as expressed on page 18, and used it as a precedent for future action. General Grants grave accusation against his country in 1868 would not have been needed. John Johnston saw the Indian question from both sides. He neither idealized the savage nor minimized the obligation of the nation. His was a clear vision, born of his daily experiences at Upper Piqua, when the ten tribes inhabiting this part of the middle west, were his next door neighbors. To those of the Johnston lineage still remaining in South ern Ohio, this personal narrative will be welcome. It is a picture of the times and manners of a period constantly becoming more interesting as it fades into the past. The daughter of this staunch pioneer, Mrs. Julia Johnston Patter son, lived in Dayton many years, and left sweet memories behind her.
