| | 1 | Author: | Young Joseph | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | An Indian's Views of Indian Affairs  | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | I WISH that I had words at command in which to express
adequately the interest with which I have read the extraordinary
narrative which follows, and which I have the privilege of
introducing to the readers of this "Review." I feel, however, that
this apologia is so boldly marked by the charming
naïveté and tender pathos which characterize
the red-man, that it needs no introduction, much less any
authentication; while in its smothered fire, in its deep sense of
eternal righteousness and of present evil, and in its hopeful
longings for the coming of a better time, this Indian chief's appeal
reminds us of one of the old Hebrew prophets of the days of the
captivity. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
