Drakes Book of Indians

In The book of the Indians of North America, Drake introduces his work with an analysis of the writings of distinguished authors such as Plato, St. Gregory, Cotton Mather, and others regarding the first people in America. He then delves into the fascinating histories and details of the lives of approximately five hundred tribal chiefs and other prominent Native Americans. It is a history of their manners, customs, tribal wars and oratory, from the first exposure to Europeans to 1833. DSI presents this illustrated volume “As Published” in 1833.
