[Illustration]
=W. N. Hailman=, _Supt. of Schools, Dayton, O., formerly U. S.
Commissioner of Indian Schools_: The book is beyond question the most
attractive and conscientious presentation of the subject I have met.
=M. V. O’Shea=, _School of Education, Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison,
Wis._: I am glad to say that I regard Starr’s “American Indians” as one
of the most appropriate books for grammar grade reading that I have
seen.
=Richard E. Dodge=, _Prof. in Teacher’s College, Columbia Univ._, in
“The Journal of School Geography”: The name of the author is a
sufficient guarantee as to the accuracy and value of the little book
whose title is noted above. We have long needed a well-written and true
account of the much misused and misunderstood American Indians, and more
especially an account that would appeal to the young, and give them
different impressions from those gathered from nursery tales, school
primers or Cooper’s stories. The book is attractive in general
appearance, in typography, and illustration, and is well divided into
thirty-three short chapters, each devoted to a pertinent topic. It deals
with all the aspects of Indian life, as is shown by the following
selected chapter headings—Houses, Dress, the Baby and Child, War,
Hunting and Fishing, Picture Writing, Money, Medicine Men and Secret
Societies, Dances and Ceremonials, The Algonquins, the Six Nations, the
Creeks, the Cherokees, The Pueblos, Totem Posts, The Aztecs, etc. The
author has made good use of authorities and includes notes concerning
each author quoted. The book shows that great care has been expended in
selecting and organizing materials, and is authoritative. It should
receive a hearty welcome, and be used not only in schools, but in homes,
as a book for boys and girls, or as a book for a parent to use in
selecting true facts for family talks and conferences. Two valuable maps
are included in the text, and are both very pertinent.
=Journal of Education, Boston, Mass.=: The book is interesting and
instructive throughout, and should be read widely in school and out.
=The American, Philadelphia, Pa.=: This book, prepared especially for
younger people, is a careful, interesting history of the chief tribes of
North American Indians, their peculiarities and ways of life. The
picture drawn is good and highly instructive.
=Tribune, Chicago, Ill.=: Professor Starr is already a recognized
authority on Indian lore, having a personal acquaintance with some
thirty tribes, from Alaska to Yucatan. His book condenses into 240 pages
the main facts gathered by students and explorers among the red men
since the discovery of America. One cannot read many pages without
feeling that the author is deeply in sympathy with the people of whom he
is writing.
