"The story of the wonderful contests of a savage tribe of less than four thousand, of all ages, in 1822, and less than one thousand in 1845, with the disciplined forces of the United States, for nearly a quarter of a century . . . . A sad story of heroism, gallantry, and patriotism on the side of the Aborigines, and of treachery, unscrupulous covetousness, and barefaced lying on the part of the government and its officials"--Field 1475.
