Excerpt from Twenty Years Among Our Hostile Indians: Describing the Characteristics, Customs, Habits, Religion, Marriages, Dances and Battles of the Wild Indians in Their Natural State; Together With the Entrance of Civilization Through Their Hunting Grounds

My twenty years of life among the Indians, beginning forty years ago, embraced the entire territory from the Saskatchewan River in British America, south to the central portion of Mexico, and from the Mississippi and Sioux Rivers west to the Pacific Ocean, which area covers, as the reader knows, a large portion of our country's vast domain. It was then, except to the Indians who roamed over its far-stretching prairies and followed the windings of its rivers and streams, or climbed its mountain heights in 'quest of game, almost terra incognita.

The reader will observe that I use the words nations and tribes frequently, and in a very distinctive manner. This I do for the following reason: I class as nations all those Indians who spoke a language of their own; and as tribes, those bodies that formed only apart of a nation. A band of Indians, as they were known on the frontier, was a party or body composed of allied nations or tribes, which might, or might not, speak difierent lan guages or dialects. They banded together for specific purposes, and when these were accomplished they separated, each nation or tribe returning to its own hunting ground or territory.
