This is the autobiographical account of an explorer, government administrator, and scholar whose researches into the language and customs of the Chippewa and other Native American peoples of the Great Lakes region are considered milestones in nineteenth-century ethnography. After a childhood in Hamilton, New York, Schoolcraft gained attention for the reports and journals he wrote on trips west to explore mineral deposits in Arkansas, Missouri, and the old Northwest. Later, he joined the Cass expedition to the Lake Superior region, where he served as an Indian agent in St. Mary (Sault Ste. Marie) from 1822 to 1836. [mehr]

Sara Jeannette Duncan (who sometimes wrote as Mrs. Everard Cotes) was a Canadian author and journalist. Beginning her career on the Washington Post, she made history as the first woman to be hired as a professional journalist in Canada, taking a regular position at the Toronto Globe, and later moving to the Montreal Star, where she was the paper's Parliamentary correspondent. She married Everard Cotes, a journalist and museum curator based in Calcutta. During her long residence with her husband in India she made a considerable reputation as a novelist of Anglo-Indian life. Duncan's style can be compared to contemporary satirists such as Stephen Leacock and Thomas Carlyle. [mehr]

It Seems Inexcusable To Remind The Public That One Has Written A Book. Poppa Says I Ought Not To Feel That Way About It--That He Might Just As Well Be Shy About Referring To The Baking Soda That He Himself Invented--But I Do, And It Is With Every Apology That I Mention It. I Once Had Such A Good Time In england That I Printed My Experiences, And At The Very End Of The Volume It Seemed Necessary To Admit That I Was Engaged To Mr. Arthur Greenleaf Page, Of Yale College, Connecticut. I Remember Thinking This Was Indiscreet At The Time, But I Felt Compelled To Bow To The Requirements Of Fiction. I Was My Own Heroine, And I Had To Be Disposed Of. There Seemed To Be No Alternative. I Did Not Wish To Marry Mr. Mafferton, Even For Literary Purposes, And Peter Corke'S Suggestion, That I Should Cast Myself Overboard In Mid-Ocean At The Mere Idea Of Living Anywhere Out Of England For The Future, Was Autobiographically Impossible Even If I Had Felt So Inclined.

But I Consider, On The One Hand, That Winwood'S History Contains As Much Of Interest, And As Good An Example Of Manly Virtues, As Will Be Found In The Life Of Many A Hero More Renowned; And, On The Other, That His Story Has Been So Partially Known, And So Distorted, It Becomes Indeed The Duty Of A Gentleman, When That Gentleman Was His Nearest Friend, To Put Forth That Story Truly, And So Give The Lie For Ever To The Detractors Of A Brave And Kindly Man.
