"The American Indians" by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the history, condition, and prospects of the American Indian tribes, drawing from the author's extensive notes and manuscripts. Through his observations, Schoolcraft seeks to shed light on the various facets of Indigenous life during a time of significant change and confrontation with American expansion. The opening of the book presents Schoolcraft reflecting on his experiences over the past twenty-six years, which included exploring the Mississippi Valley and working as an Executive Agent for the United States Government among Indian tribes. He describes the political and economic upheavals following the War of 1812, as well as the motivations that drove him westward in search of fresh opportunities and knowledge. Schoolcraft shares personal anecdotes of his travels and encounters with different landscapes and people, setting the stage for a broader discussion on the history and status of Native Americans during the westward expansion.
