"The Story of Our Country" has been often told, but cannot be told too often. I have spared no effort to make
the following pages interesting as well as truthful, and to present, in graphic language, a pen-picture of our
nation's origin and progress. It is a story of events, and not a dry chronicle of official succession. It is an
attempt to give some fresh color to facts that are well known, while depicting also other facts of public interest
which have never appeared in any general history. Wherever I have taken the work of another I give credit
therefor; otherwise this little book is the fruit of original research and thought. The views expressed will
doubtless not please everybody, and some may think that I go too far in pleading the cause of the original
natives of the soil. Historic justice demands that some one should tell the truth about the Indians, whose chief
and almost only fault has been that they occupied lands which the white man wanted. Even now covetous eyes
are cast upon the territory reserved for the use of the remaining tribes.
