1883 Our Wild INDIANS Native American Tecumseh Sherman SCALPING Sioux Apache

‘Our Wild Indians’ is a fascinating late 19^th-century account of the lives and customs of Native American Indians written by Richard Dodge, a military aide to General Sherman. This book is a broad discussion of practices and lifestyles witnessed by American military figures such as:

• self-torture and scalping
• stagecoach ambushes
• mysterious Indian medicine and sacred rituals
• descriptions of Indian teepees
• gambling and drunkenness in Indian cultures

Dodge outlines the differences between the customs of the ‘white man’, and those of the Apache, Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Kiowa, and Comanche people. William Tecumseh Sherman supplemented this first edition with an introduction, giving authority to the work and descriptions of Indians.
