Excerpt from The Red Race of America
IT is now twenty-six years since I first entered the area of the Missis' sippi valley, with the view of exploring its then but imperfectly known features, geographical and geological. Twenty-two years of this period have elapsed since I entered on the duties of an Executive Agent for the United States Government in its higher northern latitudes among the In dian tribes in the west. Having devoted so large a portion of my life in an active sphere, in which the intervals of travel left me favourable oppor tanitics of pursuing the languages and history of this branch of the race, it appears to be a just expectation, that, in sitting down to give some account of this people, there should be some preliminary remarks, to ap prise the reader how and why it is, that his attention is recalled to a topic which he may have supposed to be well nigh exhausted. This it is pro posed to do by some brief personal reminiscences, beginning at the time above alluded to.
