Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who, and what are the medicine-men (or medicine-women), of the American Indians? What powers do they possess in time of peace or war? How is this power obtained, how renewed, how exercised? What is the character of the remedies employed? Are they pharmaceutical, as we employ the term, or are they the superstitious efforts of empirics and charlatans, seeking to deceive and to misguide by pretended consultations with spiritual powers and by reliance upon mysterious and occult influences? Such a discussion will be attempted in this book, which will be restricted to a description of the personality of the medicine-men, the regalia worn, and the powers possessed and claimed. To go farther, and enter into a treatment of the religious ideas, the superstitions, omens, and prayers of these spiritual leaders, would be to open a road without end.

Download or read book The Medicine Men of the Apache written by John G. Bourke and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John G. Bourke's 'The Medicine-Men of the Apache' delves into the intricate world of Apache medicine men, providing a detailed account of their practices, beliefs, and rituals. Written in a meticulous and scholarly style, the book offers an invaluable insight into the cultural and spiritual significance of these healers within the context of Apache society. Bourke's thorough research and firsthand experiences with the Apache people bring authenticity and depth to his study, making it a must-read for anyone interested in Native American traditions and indigenous healing practices. The narrative is rich with anecdotes and observations, painting a vivid picture of a largely misunderstood aspect of Apache culture. John G. Bourke, an American soldier and ethnologist, draws on his extensive interactions with the Apache tribes to present a nuanced and respectful portrayal of their medicine men. His background in anthropology and military service provided him with a unique perspective that informs his writing, offering a blend of academic rigor and personal insight. Bourke's dedication to understanding and documenting Apache customs shines through in 'The Medicine-Men of the Apache,' making it a seminal work in the field. I highly recommend 'The Medicine-Men of the Apache' to readers interested in anthropology, Native American studies, and cultural history. Bourke's comprehensive study sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of Apache culture and offers a thought-provoking exploration of traditional healing practices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medicine-Men of the Apache The Caucasian population of the United States has been in inti mate contact with the aborigines for a period of not less than two hun dred and fifty years. In certain sections, as in Florida and New Mexico, this contact has been for a still greater period; but claiming no earlier date than the settlement of New England, it will be seen that the white race has been slow to learn or the red man has been skillful in withholding knowledge which, if imparted, would have less ened friction and done much to preserve and assimilate a race that, in spite of some serious defects of character, will for all time to come he looked upon as the noble savage.
