 Title:  Life at an Indian Agency  
 Published:  1994

 Description: THE treatment of the aboriginal inhabitants of the territories over which the government of the United States has extended its sway during the last twenty-five years has been — and still continues to be — one of the most difficult problems ever encountered in the development of any great nation. Marching eastward from the Pacific and westward from the turbid waters of the Missouri, stretching in two thin blue threads from the "British line" to the Mexican frontier, our gallant little army has steadily closed in on the savages, "rounding up" the scattered tribes and gathering them in upon the immense reservations of land set apart for their use. The government has established agencies to represent it with the various tribes with which it has made treaties, and it is the object of this paper simply to describe the life at one of these agencies.
