James McLaughlin

4.9/5 (12342 ratings)

Description:"James McLaughlin was the personification of the paternalistic Indian service that grew out of the reform movement of the 1880s, but his years of living among the Indians he would "civilize" lent a special knowledge and empathy that was denied government colleagues who saw them as distant abstractions. The greater part of My Friend the Indian chronicles the exciting events of McLaughlin's tenure as agent of the Devils Lake Sioux agency in Dakota Territory from 1871 to 1881 and of the Standing Rock Agency on the Missouri River below Bismarck from 1881 to 1895. He describes his friendship with many prominent warriors, including Chief Gall, and his long struggle with Sitting Bull, which ended in tragedy. McLaughlin includes history related to him by Indians: Mrs. Spotted Horn Bull gives her eyewitness account of the Battle of the Little Big Horn and Chief Joseph tells the story of the Nez Perce War (by the time he talked to Joseph in 1900 he was an inspector for the Indian Bureau, crisscrossing the nation as an advocate of every tribe)"--Back cover.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
