Humphrey, Seth K. Indian dispossessed. [**]$1.50. Little.
A plain statement of the wrongs which the Indians have suffered at the hands of the government of the United States, backed by extracts from official records. There is little rhetoric but there are many facts. The crowding out process as it affected various tribes and reservations is given in detail and the final chapters: Dividing the spoils, and Uncle Sam, trustee, make the most ardent patriot stop and ponder. There are sixteen full page illustrations from photographs of Indian chiefs.
[*] “By taking only those instances wherein the Government or its representatives have been conspicuously unfair in dealing with the Indian, Mr. Humphrey succeeds in making out a pretty strong case against the white man. He has used his material well and has made the most of it.”

“We ascribe to this author the best intentions, but we do not think his book will render any real service to the Indian cause. All that he says may be true, but he does not tell all the truth.”
