Since the publication of the first edition of "The Vanishing Race",
further grateful acknowledgment is accorded. While conducting a
nation-wide Expedition of Citizenship to the North American Indian,
embracing 189 tribes and extending over 26,000 miles, the author was
adopted into the Wolf clan of the Mohawk nation,--Iroquois Confederacy.
They said, "You have traveled so far, traveled so fast, and brought so
much light and life to the Indian that we call you 'Ka-ra-Kon-tie, Flying
Sun'."
