Download or read book Indian Stories Classic Reprint written by Cicero Newell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Stories Many years ago I lived among the Indians and knew them well. They were very different from the Indians of to-day. It would be hard now to find any Indians who are as close to the original traditions as were those old friends of mine. I want to give the boys and girls of to-day a chance to see the Indian as I saw him, and to know how he lived and what he thought. It is a pleasure to tell this story; for I came to love the Indian, and I had great respect for him and for his manner of life. When I first lived among the Dakotas, they were still strongly prejudiced in favor of the old ways, tradi tions and customs. They looked back-with regret upon earlier times, when they lived, unmolested, the wild, free life of the forests. They said that their ancestors were better men than they, because their ancestors lived closer to the Great Spirit, by whom the actions of all Indians were guided. I give the stories as they were told to me by old men who knew and loved the old-time ways, and who wanted to give me the real facts because they saw that I respected their customs and believed in them. In these stories I share with the boys and girls of to-day, who can never know the old-fashioned Indians, my recollections of a busy and happy life among them, at a time when they had not unlearned all the old customs.

I came when the great autumn feast of the Mother was past I was there at the ending of the winter, when plague broke out in our midst, and the streets at night were thronged with seething multitudes who sang strange litanies and went half mad with religious excitement; I remained through the terrific heat, when activity became a burden, and only one's Hindu friends understood how to live; I left my home for a time when the tropical rains had begun, and in the adjoining roads the cab horses were up to their girths in water hour after hour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Home Memories I belong to an anglo-indian family, and am saturated with Indian traditions and associations. My father and grandfather were in the Indian Civil Service before me, and one of my sons is now a member of that Service. I was myself in the Civil Service for thirty-five years. My life in India was not devoid of incident; I have had the honour to rise to high office, and for four years after my retirement I sat as a Member of the House of Commons. I have made many friends, and, I am sorry to say, not a few enemies. In these pages, which are an unvarnished record, I submit my memoirs to the judgment of the public, and venture to hope that they may add to the number of my friends and not increase the ranks of those who are enrolled upon the other side.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXI GIVE THE RED MAN HIS PORTION The Treasury of the United States holds something like thirty-six million dollars in funds belonging to the Indians. The fund, as it stands, might be described as an endowment for the creation of paupers and the perpetuation of the present state of dependence among the people to whose credit it stands. In addition to this fund, the government holds for the Indians a vast amount in landed property, the title to a great deal of which property will pass to the Indian in twenty-five years after he accepts an allotment. The issuance of the patent in fee may be expedited by any Indian who thinks well enough of his heirs to betake himself to the happy hunting-grounds; for in that event, the land may be sold for the benefit of the decedent's family. It is quite impossible to value the land even approximately, but it is worth many millions of dollars. And, resting as he does under the weight of this burden of wealth, getting enough of iMrom time to time to keep the life in his body and prevent him from exerting himself to any great extent on his own behalf, the American Indian is fated to die in a state of unthrift and indigence, a sort of half-starved ward in chancery. It appears to me that it is the duty of the government to make some provision presently for the emancipation of these unhappy victims, to deliver them from the evils that guarantee a future of ungentle paupery, by giving to the Indian his portion and turning him adrift to work out his own salvation. The Indian and his condition is not so important a matter to the majority of the people of the United States as the smashing of the trusts and the reformation of the "system"; but no question that affects the moral and physical salvation of over...
Download or read book My Friend Bill written by Anson Albert Gard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Friend Bill: Many Stories Told in the Telling of One The writer of My Friend Bill has made no attempt at a literary production, and he trusts that his readers will not view his first effort from any such standpoint. He believes that a story may contain interest even though the strict rules of literature are not followed. To write by rule is to lay down a plan and make everything fit to that plan. My Friend Bill is a life-story: and no rule can be laid down to fit 'a life. Each day brings forth a change, and the rules of yesterday may be broken by the happenings of to-day. My Friend Bill is a human story, in which the heart rather than the intellect guided the pen. That which pleases the intellect is a passing pleasure - that which touches the heart is a lasting impression. The author has a kindly feeling for all those who see only the seamy side of life, and no patience with those whose selfishness would crush the hopes and ambitions of the under man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eastwards, or Realities of Indian Life Mr. And Mrs. Chantney, and a hurried farewell to his Sister, went off to an hotel in the neighbourhood. Here for a while their routes became different, as Hampton Was to go in a steamer with the heavy luggage from Southampton, while she journeyed across France a few days later, with her new friends, meeting again at Alexandria. Mrs. Chantney was quite an old Indian in her appearance and manners, although she was not at all an old woman. She had that worn, haggard look, which Englishwomen acquire after a long residence in the tropics, and was dressed fashionably and yet carelesslv. She was much less stiff, our heroine thought, than untravelled Englishwomen generally are, and altogether had a slightly foreign air which rather pleased than otherwise. She seemed satisfied with her young companion's appearance, and very soon commenced a series of lectures concerning her conduct on board ship, &c You know, my dear, she said, without any flattery, you are very nice looking, and there are alwavs a number of good for nothing young officers on board these steamers, who will try to persuade you that they are ready to jump overboard for your sake, while the truth is they are probably engaged to some confiding girl in England, or have sworn the same vapid oaths to every one they have danced with; and in fact have been so spoiled by the way the young women go on now-a-days, that they are insufferable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years Among the Indians: A True Yet Thrilling Narrative of the Author's Experiences Among the Natives In answer to the solicitation of many friends, I have concluded to write something of my personal history and experience in frontier life, especially relating to that por tion spent among the Indians and Mexicans. In doing this I shall aim to write the plain, simple truth. I have to trust mainly to my memory, never having kept a jour nal. I have preserved a few letters that will aid me, but the greater part of this history will be given as it comes to my mind, just as it occurred to me at the time, modi fied or strengthened, as the case may be, by after circum stances. One rule I shall endeavor to follow - to speak the truth without malice toward anyone. This will doubtless be hard for me to carry through, but I make a record of the desire, that it may be continually before me.

Book excerpt: One of the world’s leading experts on infidelity provides a step-by-step guide through the process of infidelity—from suspicion and revelation to healing, and provides profound, practical guidance to prevent infidelity and, if it happens, recover and heal from it. You’re right to be cautious when you hear these words: “I’m telling you, we’re just friends.” Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for “friendships” that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.
