Schoolcraft is an ethnographic account written in the mid-19th century. The work documents Schoolcraft's observations and experiences among Native American tribes, particularly those in the Mississippi Valley, providing detailed descriptions of their languages, customs, and history. The book aims to offer insights into the lives and characteristics of the Indigenous peoples of North America during a transformative period in American history. The opening of the narrative introduces Schoolcraft reflecting on his early explorations in the Mississippi Valley over the past two decades, where he engaged with various Indian tribes. He details the historical context of the early 19th century, marked by the aftermath of the War of 1812, which impacted the socio-economic landscape of the region. Schoolcraft shares personal anecdotes about his journey westward, his encounters with Indigenous peoples, and his burgeoning interest in their languages and cultures, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the characteristics and histories he intends to document throughout the book.
