only foreigners "changed by the climate," have had opportunities to
read a small amount of purely American literature in the writings
of some of the educated American Indians. Three authors in
particular—Dr. Eastman, Mr. LaFlesche, and the Indian girl
Zitkala-Sa—have notably enriched our records of the characters and
customs of their people. It is interesting to observe that each of
them has emphasized the finer aspects of the old order—which, for
them, has changed forever—with a pride that cannot fail to be
recognized by the casual reader, even where it is accompanied by
the most courteous acknowledgment of the merits and advantages of
civilization. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
