In the year of 1492, when Christopher Columbus first set foot on
the soil of "THE NEW WORLD," there were an approximated, though
unconfirmed, six million Native Indians, of differing tribal
cultures, and systems, spread all across what is now America, and
Canada. By the years end of 1890, when the rifle and cannon had
fallen silent, and the sabres safely sheathed, and the bow, lance,
and tomahawk were finally thrown to the ground in defeat. That
figure had been reduced to a mere, staggering, two hundred and
fifty thousand souls. Many, many of their number had died between
the years of 1860 and 1890, the period covered within these pages.
Most of these souls, drawing their final breath, under a false
belief, that to live in a land no longer their own, and to adopt a
culture totally alien to them, would, after all their suffering, be
of immense value to them. Those Indians voices, that had helped the
first settlers to survive their first winter in "the new world,
had, by the year of 1890, been reduced from a roar, to a mere
whisper on the wind. In the year of 1492, when Christopher Columbus
