Impressions of the Sioux Tribes in 1882 Native American Indian Rights

Description: Impressions of the Sioux Tribes in 1882, with Some First Principles in the Indian Question Author: Pancoast, Henry S. Published: Philadelphia; Franklin Printing House, 1883 Binding: Softcover Condition: Very good (please see full item description for details) Description: 27 pp, in original printed wrappers. Near fine, with a few tiny chips. Pancoast was a Philadelphia lawyer who traveled to Dakota Territory in 1882 with an Episcopal Mission and spent a month visiting the Sioux Agencies. Upon his return, he and his traveling companion, Herbert Welsh, founded the Indian Rights Association, a primarily white organization dedicated to promotion equal protection under the law, education, citizenship, and land ownership for Native Americans. In this pamphlet, Pancoast offers a narrative of his travels and lays out his reasons why "civilizing" the Indians -- "making them self-supporting, industrious, and peaceable" -- is a "national necessity" and can best be accomplished through education.

Condition Descriptions Defined: We grade our books and dust jackets using the traditional language of the antiquarian book trade. In brief: Fine is the highest grade and means essentially as new, without visible faults or defects; Near Fine means approaching fine, but with one or more very minor defects or faults, which will be noted; Very Good means the book shows some general (but not too offensive) signs of wear and use, which will be noted; Good means the book is complete and intact, but has more wear or some internal markings. Any ex-library book will be graded no higher than Good, even if it is otherwise a very nice copy. Again, all flaws will be noted. We rarely offer any books in Fair or Poor condition, but if we do, the reasons for the grade will be evident from the photo(s) and description. Guarantee & Returns: All books are guaranteed as described and can be returned within 14 days for any reason. Please notify us in advance of any return.
