Excerpt from The White Seneca To the critic who knows American Indian history and character, the reason will at once be apparent. There are portions of this Indian tale drawn so startlingly true to fact that the close student of the history of the Iroquois Indians is compelled to acknowledge it as a new departure. In the plot almost no situation is overdrawn. Indian life is painted without gloss or prejudice; the picture stands like a photograph, retouched in minor details, but clearly drawn from fact. Fancy alone has brought together the elements needful for the romance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Indian as a Product of Environment: With Special Reference to the Pueblos Written during short and widely separated inter vals of time, covering more than a half-dozen years of the busy life of a schoolmaster, it is not surprising if the work shows defects naturally resulting from the interruptions. Thoughts begotten and expressed un der such disadvantages are likely to lack continuity and completeness. In the work there is no attempt at profundity or exhaustiveness. There is only an effort to set forth a few of the more noticeable characteristics of primi tive life - especially primitive life in the Southwest relating to environment. Many interesting phases of Pueblo ethnology bearing on the main subject are merely touched upon, others entirely omitted. Since the general reader rather than the student of anthro pology has been kept in mind during the preparation of the volume, aboriginal terms of a local or technical character have been purposely avoided as far as possible. Fortune has given the writer the privilege of vis iting the Southwest several times for the purpose of seeing the land and its people, and collecting data at first hand; but he is pleased to acknowledge the helpfulness derived from that eminent group of authors who have written so well concerning this interesting Pueblo branch of the aboriginal race. His indebtedness to them is manifested in the various quotations and foot-notes of the book. Should there be any one to whom acknowledgment is due but who has been overlooked, an apology is here offered in advance.
