Translated into English for the first time and edited for an American readership by Graham MacDonald, Frederic Baraga's Short History Of The North American Indians was originally published for German, French and Slovenian readers in 1837 Europe. An account of the author's first years in Michigan territory, originally composed for his supporters in Europe, especially the membership of his sponsoring agency, Frederic Baraga's Short History Of The North American Indians offers a unique perspective of mid-ninteenth century Catholic missions in the New World, and offers detailed observations of Native communities on the Lake Superior frontier, including hunting techniques, tools, and cultural features of various tribes. A smattering of color photographs and artworks illustrates this very down-to-earth and articulate accounting, offering depictions of Native American life as vivid today as they were over a century ago.
