PREPARER'S NOTE

Please note that this book contains a photograph of a burial platform,
which some may find offensive. The elegaic tone, typical of the time, of
much of the book may also annoy the modern reader. Some of the Indian
interviews are still quoted today, however, and some of the photos are
still reproduced.
