Synopsis

""The Red Record of the Sioux: Life of Sitting Bull and History of the Indian War of 1890-91"" is a historical account written by W. Fletcher Johnson, first published in 1891. The book details the life of Sitting Bull, a prominent Sioux warrior and leader, and the events leading up to and during the Indian War of 1890-91. Johnson provides a comprehensive overview of the Sioux tribe's history, culture, and traditions, as well as the conflicts that arose between them and the United States government. The book also delves into the political and economic factors that contributed to the war, including the government's efforts to force the Sioux onto reservations and the discovery of gold in their territory. Throughout the book, Johnson offers a critical analysis of the government's policies towards Native Americans and the impact they had on their way of life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ubrar PREFACE. There is in all the checkered history of America nr chapter of more general interest than that which tells of the Aborigines and our dealings with them. It narrates a story often shameful, often noble, sometimes pusillani mous, sometimes heroic, now causing us to blush with shame for fallen human nature, now kindling us with enthusiastic admiration for humanity that seems almost divine; but always full of power to thrill the heart, of romance to captivate the fancy, and of rich food to nourish earnest thought. To the man of war and to the man of peace, to the statesman and to the Christian teacher, to the sci entist, and to the romanticist, it makes with equal direct ness its irresistible appeal. It is the object of the present volume to relate the story of the Sioux, more properly the Dakota I ndians, and our relations with them. Of all the aboriginal people, they were the greatest, the bravest in war, the wisest in peace, the most powerful in body, the most advanced in mind.
