The Vanishing Race: The Last Great Indian Council
Please note that this book contains a photograph of a burial platform, which some may find offensive. The elegaic tone, typical of the time, of much of the book may also annoy the modern reader. Some of the Indian interviews are still quoted today, however, and some of the photos are still reproduced.
The Last Outpost
The Vanishing Race The Last Great Indian Council a record in picture and story of the last great indian council, participated in by eminent indian chiefs from nearly every indian reservation in the united states, together with the story of their lives as told by themselves—their speeches and folklore tales—their solemn farewell, and the indians' story of the custer fight
By Dr. Joseph K. Dixon
To the man of mystery—
The earth his mother—
The sun his father—
A child of the mountains and the plains—
A faithful worshipper in the great world cathedral—
Now a tragic soul haunting the shores of the western ocean—
My brother the Indian
