Poverty Bill, SASS# 45790 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Howdy, have a nice boook for sale. "Wild Life On The Plains and Horrors Of Indian Warfare" by a corps of competent authors and artists A complete History of Indian Life, Warfare and Adventure in America "Nations like men, are sometimes interested in burying the past. In early 1968, after more than five years marked by political assassinations, mass demonstrations, racial uprisings and the violent suppression of protest, The New York Times Magazine asked a group of distinguished scholars to reply to the question "Is America by nature a violent society?" As a result of this query, it was noted that there was little understanding of the role of domestic political violence in American history. It was further found that one could search the shelves of the nation's great libraries without finding more than a handful of works on the subject of violence in American history. With these factors in mind, Arno Press reprinted Wild Life On The Plains And Horrors Of Indian Warfare as part of their project to select and publish significant documents in the history of political violence. Their aim was to provide material which will aid in the search for an accurate perspective on the present. Wild Life On The Plains And Horrors Of Indian Warfare not only provides such information - it gives the feel and flavor of the era of the "Great American Desert" by evoking the emotional and political context in which territorial conquest took place. This volume is also enhanced by many superb illustrations. Revealed are the pioneer's theories and attitudes about "Injun" history and cullture, dealings between traders and tribes, Custer's description of "Wild Bill" , Custer's debacles, and Sherman's terrible march. Documents discuss witch doctors, outraged women, the Indian Bureau and the great Indian Chiefs, Sittting Bull, Lone Wolf, and Satanta. The Messiah Craze, the Ghost Dance and the Big Chief's talk with the "Great White Father" in Washington are included. The struggle and ultimate demise of the Apaches, Kiowas, Sioux, Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Pawnees is descibed in vivid detail. These documents clearly show that events such as are occurring nationally in the 1970's have taken place before in America. The first part of Wild Life On The Plains And Horrors Of Indian Warfare was written by a United States Cavalryman and depicts life after the Civil War. The latter part of the book offers legends of famous frontiersmen." copyright 1969 592 pages 6 3/8" x 9 1/4" tall book and dust jacket in in near excellent condition SOLD $20.00 shipped to you (media rate) In the U.S.A.
