Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Treaty of Traverse Des Sioux in 1851, Under Governor Alexander Ramsey: With Notes of the Former Treaty There, in 1841, Under Governor James D. Doty, of Wisconsin
The Indians busied themselves each day with some national pastime or superstitious rite, much to the entertainment of the whites. A big ball game between the young men Of rival bands, or by two companies of young squaws, would be the attraction one day; a grand wedding, a virgin feast, dramatic representations of hunting scenes and savage warfare, and, because Of the terrific thunder-storms then prevalent, a big dance held to appease the storm god by breaking the wing Of the Thunder-bird, - each, in its turn, varied the daily program of genuine savage life here presented.
