From the Publisher’s Preface

“This is not a very big book, as dimensions and size goes, but it is otherwise a great big book; it is, moreover, a good book.  It is not very timely in one sense, having been written in 1913 and published in 1914, but what author Francis Ellington Leupp has set forth here is a testimony to the fact that ever since the Whiteman first confronted the Redman in the New World, there have been men (of both races) who tried each to understand the other.  Author Leupp writes with a passion bordering on inspiration.  His words are cogent and eloquent, his writing lucid and graceful.  His innate compassion is evident on every page.  His grasp of the difficulty in establishing and maintaining a racially pluralistic social order is profound.”
