What is Our Wild Indians, Thirty Three Years Among the Red Men of the Great West about?

'Our Wild Indians' is one of the first attempts to portray Native Americans as they actually were and not the typically romanticized version that treated the Indian as alternately an unmitigated savage or a dashing bold hero fighting for his native land. This volume was critically acclaimed upon its debut in 1883. Fully illustrated with portraits on steel and featuring an introduction written by General William Tecumseh Sherman. The author, Col. Richard Irving Dodge, chronicled his 33 years of military experience amongst the Indians of the West, including observations on their social life, religion, habits, traits, customs and exploits., and the social differences between the tribes. This is an important record of the historic Native American way of life as that life was and as it changed with greater American contact. It is also an important record of American history. During his life, Dodge was renowned as a great story teller and conversationalist. His book does justice to that reputation as it is still very entertaining to read despite it's age.
