s enforcing a wrong.

Had the Indians been enabled to act all together, they would have held
their land, just as the Americans of today would hold their land
against the invader.

Of course, the Indian was not wholly right, and the white man was not
wholly wrong. There is much to be said, by either, and there were
brave chiefs and warriors on both sides.

This book is written according to the Indian's view of matters, so that
we may be better acquainted with his thoughts. The Indians now living
do not apologize for what their fathers and grandfathers did. A man
who defends what he believes are his rights is a patriot, whether they
really are his rights, or not.
