Book description
Anecdotes of American Indians – is a book, which was written by John Lauris Blake, an American clergyman and bestselling author.
The character of the native people of the western continent is in many ways remarkable and striking.
It is of great interest both to students of history and to observers of human nature.
However, this character was never properly exhibited in a coherent manner.
A person is obliged to discover character traits in isolated incidents and disparate descriptions: and thus, through a kind of inductive process, to determine the real character, strengths and capabilities of the North American savages.
These "Anecdotes" were collected with the aim of transferring the materials of this inductive process into a single medium-sized volume.
They represent the savage in all his various aspects and relationships, in all circumstances of sorrow and joy, danger, difficulty and triumph.
The incidents recounted here, demonstrating the most prominent traits of Indian character, also draw attention to the most striking passages of American national history in its connection with the Aborigines, and thus serve a dual purpose: both an exercise in history as well as philosophical research.
Its main goal is utility.
Its special purpose is to serve the great cause of national education.
