Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. The writings of an experienced traveler and missionary, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Native American Osage Indians in the prairies of Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma during the mid-19th century. The author explores the lives of these people, their culture, their traditions, and the changes they underwent due to the arrival of white settlers, missionaries, and, later, the American Civil War. The book addresses the dynamic between white settlers and Native Americans through accounts of the author's experiences working with the Jesuit missionaries, especially the efforts of Father John Bax. Also highlighted are the sweeping changes and disruptions to the prairie landscape and Native American culture engendered by the encroachment of white settlers and governmental policy in the region during that period.
