This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important                 historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to                 apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to                 sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and                 does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is                 culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally                 enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or                 missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the                 original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it                 back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with                 access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional                 imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that                 intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897. Excerpt: ... GHOST DANCE. THE days of Indian Summer were usually devoted to the annual games and thankofferings of the Indians, which young men and old, women and maidens, toddling babes and well-swaddled papooses, gathered to engage in or witness, each brilliant with additional paint and plumage, and lending the touch of color which gay blankets and bright embroideries alone can produce, and all eager to see the prizes secured by their favorites. The racing, climbing, leaping, and wrestling matches were over and the prizes about to be awarded, when a ferocious grizzly bear invaded the space set apart for the sports, to be fought and killed by young To-wah-bic, who had already won the white feather for the most difficult climbing, to which was added a fine string of wampum beads as a tribute to his bravery and skill in the dispatch of Bear. This compliment so inflamed his zeal and pride that he determined to enter the swimming contest, to win, if possible, the royal canoe which was offered as a prize. Michibou thus far had smiled upon the efforts of To-wah-bic, but as the day wore on the Manitou repented of his partiality, and, deeming the avaricious disposition exhibited by the youth as unworthy of a brave, determined on his punishment. He frowned upon the young man, and resolved upon his death. As To-wah-bic with the other contestants struck out for the stake to which the valuable prize was secured, the voice of the angry god was heard ordering in thunder tones his blackest and most forbidding clouds to hide the descending sun, while the lightning terrors of his eyes flashed through the scudding clouds, sending all but two of the terrified swimmers back to the safety of the shallows. By the lurid gleams of the lightning the two determined ones were seen breasting th...

Gurdon S. Hubbard Fur Trader and Chicago Pioneer

Hubbard, Gurdon S.

Contrary to the title, this book is the autobiography of Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard, one of the most influential member of early 19th-century Chicago. He began his career as a fur trader, working his way up to a major land speculator in the Upper Midwest. No study of Chicago history can be undertaken without an examination of Hubbard's role in the development of the city. This book is an invaluable tool for such research. This book is a reprint (1981) of a 1911 reprint of a 1888 publication from Hubbard's diary manuscript held by the Chicago Historical Society. The 1888 publication was intended as a memorial volume only for Hubbard's family. The 1911 reprint was published for a wider audience as was its 1988 reprint.
