Mixing chronological narrative with a full ecological portrait, anthropologists Helen C. Rountree and Thomas E. Davidson have reconstructed the culture and history of Virginia's and Maryland's Eastern Shore Indians from A.D. 800 until the last tribes disbanded in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In Eastern Shore Indians of Virginia and Maryland, the reader learns not only the characteristics and traditions of each tribe but also the plants and animals that were native to each ecozone and were essential components of the Indians' habitat and diet. Rountree and Davidson convincingly demonstrate how these geographical and ecological differences translated into cultural differences among the tribes and shaped their everyday lives. Making use of exceptional primary documents, including county records dating as far back as 1632, Rountree and Davidson have produced a thorough and fascinating glimpse of the lives of Eastern Shore Indians that will enlighten general readers and scholars alike.

Excerpt from Our Wild Indians: Thirty-Three Years' Personal Experience Among the Red Men of the Great West, a Popular Account of Their Social Life, Religion, Habits, Traits, Customs, Exploits, Etc;, With Thrilling Adventures and Experiences on the Great Plains and in the Mountains of O For two years past I have been importuned by friends whose Opinions I value most highly, to give to the world the result of my observations and labors. I have consented to do so, not without hesitation, because having previously written on the same sub ject, I must occasionally repeat myself, or commit the affectation of clothing the same ideas in different words. My friends have overruled this objection, and I'present in this volume a detailed account of the characteristics, habits, and, what I particularly desire to invite attention to, - a minute and careful study of the social or inner life of the wild Indian of the present day.

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 Taopi and His Friends, or the Indians' Wrongs and Rights It is alleged and believed that these Indians now receive a very small proportion of the appropriations, and that the way in which they get this small share, with the frequency of political changes, tends rather to pauperize than to civilize and ennoble them. Many politicians are no doubt fully possessed with the belief that if their political party does not prevail, the country will be ruined there fore, as the Indian has no vote, patronage must be extended to others who can aid in saving the nation from impending ruin.
