Description
The author states in the preface: "In presenting this volume to the public, the writer has three objects in view. First, to give a concise description of the character of the aborigines of British North America; their superiority over many other pagan nations in intellect, oratory and generosity. Also, their increasing desires when brought under the influence of civilization, to abandon the wandering habits of the savage, and become agriculturists and citizens, and cultivate the habits of industry and frugality.
