Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from From Far Dakota: And Otherwhere I thought to try an innovation. It's about time! I'm no tender-foot, either. In civilisation they would set the dogs on a man that went out 0' nights in a Prince Albert, ' even if they spared him jail. A new and dangerous species of tramp that, ' says they, I guess.' So? Culture changes with longitude. Five years ago a buckskin suit with guns on the side was the proper thing here. You ought to know better than to dare the boys this way. I wore a dress coat once out here, just after I came - three years past. You'd better look out for Tim White. He's sure to be on your track; put a chunk of stinking cheese in one claw of my coat that time; couldn't think what ailed folk until I reached for my gloves. A good trick to play just once. After that it gets monotonous. Like to see him try it on again, for all he's thick in the neck. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Robert Hopkins was a man caught between two worlds. As a member of the Dakota Nation, he was unfairly imprisoned, accused of taking up arms against U.S. soldiers when war broke out with the Dakota in 1862. However, as a Christian convert who was also a preacher, Hopkins's allegiance was often questioned by many of his fellow Dakota as well. Without a doubt, being a convert--and a favorite of the missionaries--had its privileges. Hopkins learned to read and write in an anglicized form of Dakota, and when facing legal allegations, he and several high-ranking missionaries wrote impassioned letters in his defense. Ultimately, he was among the 300-some Dakota spared from hanging by President Lincoln, imprisoned instead at Camp Kearney in Davenport, Iowa, for several years. His wife, Sarah, and their children, meanwhile, were forced onto the barren Crow Creek reservation in Dakota Territory with the rest of the Dakota women, children, and elderly. In both places, the Dakota were treated as novelties, displayed for curious residents like zoo animals. Historian Linda Clemmons examines the surviving letters from Robert and Sarah; other Dakota language sources; and letters from missionaries, newspaper accounts, and federal documents. She blends both the personal and the historical to complicate our understanding of the development of the Midwest, while also serving as a testament to the resilience of the Dakota and other indigenous peoples who have lived in this region from time immemorial.
