Belden, the white chief

or, Twelve years among the wild Indians of the plains.

A fascinating first hand retelling of time spent with the Native American Sioux told from an outsider's point of view. Although racial attitudes expressed in the book are quaint and outdated, the book tries to express great detail of what life meant to the Sioux.

First Sentence

"It is no very difficult task for me, at one hundred yards, to send a rifle-ball against the head of a brass nail, or to cut with an arrow, at half the distance, the string that suspends a squirrel by the tail; but the pen is a weapon with which my hand has long been unfamiliar."
