Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from David Brainerd: The Apostle to the North American Indians A cross the track of history the North American Indian has left his trail, with ineffaceable prints of blood. The romantic hero of fiction, the obstruction of civilisation, we see the red-skin, with his squaw and papooses, as a broken and demoralised remnant of an untamed host, rapidly retreating to those happy hunting-grounds of the future, where the pale-faces harry never more. It has been said by one who knows : - "For the Indian in too many instances, the gospel of bullets has been preached more loudly than the Gospel of love." This is lamentably true, and if it were the object of this book to recite the history of this unhappy people, much sinned against, however much sinning, a story could be told which would or should make the ears of the readers to tingle. These pages deal with a time when insignificant hamlets of wooden shanties occupied the creeks and clearings where great cities arc now established, and vast territories were almost unexplored forests, held in fee by tribes of wild and superstitious braves.
