Excerpt from Stories of Red Men The word Indian is a frequent perplexity to young readers, and not to the young only. For even at the present day, when we hear that such an event has occurred to the Indians, or that there is going to be another Indian war, our ideas are apt to fly to the country properly called India, and not to America and the savage tribes there. India formerly meant nearly all that was known of Southern Asia and the islands near the coast. From early times the wealth of the Indies formed the merchandise of European nations; and, as I shall explain by-and-by, the Western Indies received that name from a mis take that connected them with the East. Against these American Indians, or Red Men, the white races have had to fight for the possession of the country. Three hundred years ago millions of them were spread over North and South America; but those that remain have been driven farther and farther across the continent to the mountains and valleys of the Far West, where, alas Indian wars are still of frequent occurrence.

Excerpt from Red Men and White These eight stories are made from our West ern Frontier as it was in a past as near as yester day and almost as by-gone as the Revolution so swiftly do we proceed. They belong to each other in a kinship of life and manners, and a lit tle through the nearer tie of having here and there a character in common. Thus they resem ble faintly the separate parts of a whole, and gain, perhaps, something of the invaluable weight of length; and they have been received by my closest friends with suspicion. Many sorts of Americans live in America; and the Atlantic American, it is to be feared, often has a cautious and conventional imagination. In his routine he has lived unaware of the violent and romantic era in eruption upon his soil. Only the elk-hunter has at times returned with tales at which the other Atlantic Americans have de ported themselves politely; and similarly, but for the assurances of Western readers, I should have come to doubt the truth of my own impres sions. All this is most natural. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Life and Traditions of the Red Men All prophesies, theories and ideas of the educated and intelligent of all races have been laid aside; no supposition nor presumption of any class entertained, because it is intended to show only the simple and natural state of the life, habits and ways as they existed among the pure, innocent and simple people whose traditions are here written. Simple as one would imagine them to be, yet some prophesies of theirs when given a full account of, will be very interesting, especially when it is shown that none of the studies nor the researches of the white -man have ever penetrated - thereby dwelt upon them. But still remains with him as hidden things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

Excerpt from Legends From the Red Man's Forest The Good Spirit seeing how beautiful the earth was began to plan it for the home of man. He thought of the beasts and birds which man would enjoy; and thinking of them, made them. He thought of beautiful trees, exquisite flowers, quiet rivers, and green grass, and at once all these things were upon the earth. He hung the sun in the heavens that man might have light by day, and the moon to give him light by night, and to make the night more brilliant he placed the stars. Lastly he made man and woman, and gave them this beautiful world for a home. While the Good Spirit was busy about these kind things, the Evil Spirit was putting trials in man's way.
