Our wild Indians : thirty-three years' personal experience among the red men of the great West. A popular account of their social life, religion, habits, ... (1882)[SPECIAL ILLUSTRATED EDITION] Kindle Edition

I've been looking for this since I bought my Kindel, the wait was well worth it. Anyone who is interested in the Trans Mississippi West should have a copy in their library. For me, this was a fast paced and well written book, keeping in mind it was written with the same eye as so many others of the period with regards to my ancestors the Indians. Enjoyable reading non the less. This version even has the illustrations, couldn't ask for more

Colonel Richard Dodge's fascinating and probing work on American Indians, their habits, customs, and history, with a deeply moving final chapter on the "outlook" for the Indians - all written by a man who experienced life with the Indians, firsthand, during the days of the Santa Fe Trail. Interesting. Very educational.

This book gave me more insite to the hardships and tribulations of Indians and settlers. I have been doing research of this type for a number of years and found this book helpful.

I enjoyed this book, It has been awhile, though, I need to read it again

This is just like one of the other poor digital version of this wonderful book that's up for download here. . Except it costs $10 instead of $3. The actual book by Dodge is great but this digital version is riddled with bad editing, spelling errors, pictures and photographs that did not appear in the original book, a table of contents that does not work, unlinkable illustrations. An unprofessional presentation. You can certainly read the ebook with a bit of difficulty. But it is sad that such a great book receives such a poor digital translation.

Richard Irving Dodge was the epitome of the American gentleman upon the voyage of the Great Plains which he so deeply loved for it's liberty and infinite hunting.The Colonel was well respected by both his superiors and the locals who he dealt with.In this book, he reveals wonderful insights to both the culture, brutality and dealings with the plains Indians through fact, interaction and experience.The Indian is dealt with as he should be with truthfulness.While due to the higher standards of the day, the more graphic details of what Indians did in torturing captives is refered to as "outrages". Dodge does credit in his honesty.
