Wood is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of notable Indian leaders, tracing their stories from ancient times, including figures like Cofachiqui and Powhatan, to more modern chiefs such as Chief Joseph and Geronimo. It also explores the broader narrative of Native American history and culture, intertwined with the experiences and challenges faced during colonization. The opening of the book establishes its intent by emphasizing the importance of documenting the lives and contributions of these significant figures in American history. Wood recounts the tale of Cofachiqui, an Indian princess who interacted with Hernando De Soto, illustrating her intelligence, leadership, and the hospitality extended to the explorers. It depicts the contrasts between the noble character of the Native leaders and the often brutal actions of their European counterparts, setting the tone for a narrative that aims to reclaim and honor the stories of these great chiefs amidst a history marked by conflict and misunderstanding.
