Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Indians in France I have not attempted to write a Military History of the Indian Army Corps in France. I lay no claim to describing the course of events on the British Front, as a Whole, during 1914 - 15, except in as far as they concern the Corps. The excellent account written by lieut.-colonel Merewether, Indian Army, and Sir Frederick Smith, Bart. (the Indian Corps in France, published by John Murray), both of Whom served on my Staff as Recording Officers on behalf of the India and War Offices, and who have had at their disposal all the official records, furnishes ample details of the movements and the doings of the Corps as forming an integral part of the British Army in Flanders. I have not had the advantages of papers of reference, nor have I seen all the diaries of the various Commanders and others, and have had the handicap of writing most of my story far removed from England; but it must be borne in mind that a great part of their information was naturally derived from my own reports and correspondence, and of nearly all such I kept copies, and have used them. If, therefore, in some cases our descriptions of military events appear somewhat similar the reason will be readily understood. Also I kept a very careful Diary from day to day which has enabled me to write with certainty of the events recorded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian Corps in France I AM not at all clear why an Introduction should be needed to this important and thrilling narrative of the deeds of the Indian Corps in France in the early days of the Great War, in addition to the excellent Preface which has already been contributed by the Authors. Still less is it clear Why a remote spectator should have been urged to undertake the task. It can only be because a former Viceroy must have enjoyed many opportunities during his term of.

Download or read book Our Debt to the Red Man written by Louise Seymour Houghton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Debt to the Red Man: The French-Indians in the Development of the United States HE mixed-blood Indian is so Widely regarded with disfavor, owing to the superficial criticism heaped upon him in certain quarters, that Mrs. Hough ton's book will make a strong appeal to all fair minded students of our aboriginal race problem. The too prevalent impression is doubtless based on the fact that, of late years, the natural resources of some Indian reservations have attracted speculative white adventurers, not a few of whom, taking Indian women to wife, have sadly neglected the children born of their union. But, as those of us know who are familiar at first hand with frontier conditions, any such sweeping judgment is unjust; for on every side we meet squawmen who, though uneducated in the ordinary sense, have proved their possession of character and force, and have devoted their best facul ties to the improvement of their families and the ad vancement of the tribes with which they are affiliated. In the volume before us, Mrs. Houghton has largely confined her observations to the Indians who trace their white blood to French sources. Her great store of data is the fruit of a painstaking search of several years through records ancient and modern, official and scientific, religious and literary. I am glad to note that, after showing how much we owe the mixed bloods for their contributions toward the upbuilding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conrad Weiser: And the Indian Policy of Colonial Pennsylvania During colonial times the French greatly excelled the English in their ability to secure the friendship and the trade of the Indians. The eagerness which characterized the men of New France, as they explored the water-courses searching for new scenes and new lands, was in marked contrast with the conservative English who clustered near the coast and despised Indian affiliations. The French quickly absorbed the Indians' customs and language, and reveled in their metaphorical phrases.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 4: Part II The same spirit was seen pervading France, where the conversion of the Indians of the New World was regarded as a duty of the highest order. One of the first traces that we find of French voyages to the northern coast is the mention in an early edition of the Chronicle of Eusebius, in 1508, that Indians who had been brought from the new-found land received baptism within the walls of a cathedral in France. Though the introduction of Calvinism led to the destruction of many a convent and shrine, and thinned by death the ranks of the mission orders,264 narrative and critical history OF america.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of the Ojibbeway and Ioway Indians in England, France, and Belgium, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Notes of Eight Years Travels and Residence in Europe With His North American Indian Collection The reader of this book, being supposed to have read my former work, in two volumes, and to have got some account from them, of the eight of my life spent amongst the wild Indians of the "Far West" in the forests of America, knows enough of me by this time to begin familiarly upon the subject before us, and to accompany me through a brief summary of the scenes of eight years spent amidst the civilization and refinements of the "Far East." After having made an exhibition of my Indian Collection for a short time, in the cities of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, in the United States, I crossed the Atlantic with it - not with the fear of losing my scalp, which I sometimes entertained when entering the Indian wilderness - and entirely without the expectation of meeting with excitements or novelties enough to induce me to commit the sin of writing another book; and the thought of doing it would never have entered my head, had not another of those untoward accidents, which have directed nearly all the important moves of my life, placed in my possession the materials for the following pages, which I have thought too curious to be withheld from the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Legends HE history of the American Indians, as we know it, begins with the history of the first Spanish, French, and English settlements in the new continent. All that we know of the race before that time is gleaned from the traditions of the Indians themselves. These traditions do not give us the actual dates and facts, which it is one function of history to record, but they do give us an idea of the fundamental racial thought, the instinctive belief, the habits, and the religion of the Indian people, and this is an equally important part of history.
