The Sun Dance, a horrific initiation rite where young warriors' flesh was torn by Mediciae Men; ancient marriage rituals in which brides were bought and sold , warriors hunted their loves on horseback, and Women would rather die than be forced to wed; The romantic tale of how a white woman became a crowned tribal queen. T. M. Newson spent thirty years living on America's wild frontier. In 1888, he put his experiences together into one collection, Thrilling Scenes Among The Indians. Newson captures the romance and violence of the nineteenth century's western frontier, documenting the unusual customs and manners of the American Indians. He mourns the loss of their unique culture and recounts stories of famous natives ~ from America's fiercest brave, Sitting Bull, to Longfellow's fictionalized squaw, Minnehaha. In compiling these tales, Newson has created a sensitive tribute to tribal life and a revealing expose of the white man's prejudices. In this unique chronicle, Newson describes the hostility among warring tribes as well as armed conflicts between Native Americans and the United States Government. Thrilling Scenes Among The Indians carefully recounts the Battle of Little Big Horn, the last great battle waged by American Indians, fought just twelve years earlier and still fresh in the minds of the people. With rare insight, Newson provides profiles of both Custer and Sitting Bull ~ "two of the greatest warriors of the nineteenth century'' ~ and gives an extensive account of Sitting Bull's life: from his birth on the Great Sioux Reservation, to his victory over Custer, and through the 1880s as the "most desperate foe of the whites" appears to be accepting white civilization. In these narratives, Newson penetrates mysterious tribal camps, introducing readers to the ancient legends, bizarre rituals and supernatural beliefs of Native Americans in the Northwest. There are graphic accounts of secret Indian ceremonies in which young braves submitted themselves to torturous pain. Newson also explains tribal myths and spirits like the fierce Dakota god He~ok~a, who could appear as a giant or wild beast. Writing in a time when Native Americans were fighting to save their heritage, Newson helped preserve tribal culture. Thrilling Scenes Among The Indians is a record of their history and legends, a collection of original poetry written in English and native languages, and an accurate account of historic battles. This volume is an important reminder to the modern reader of a world that was tragically lost over the last century. With his stories, Newson brings an honest appreciation for Native American culture and a strong, timeless hope for the triumph of peace.…
