Indian Heroes and Great Chieftans


Gelesen von Laura Caldwell

(4.6 stars; 271 reviews)

EVERY age, every race, has its leaders and heroes. There were over sixty distinct tribes of Indians on this continent, each of which boasted its notable men. The names and deeds of some of these men will live in American history, yet in the true sense they are unknown, because misunderstood. I should like to present some of the greatest chiefs of modern times in the light of the native character and ideals, believing that the American people will gladly do them tardy justice.

True People

The white man did not bring civilization. It was already here. Wonderful book bringing perspective of truth. I highly recommend it. Very well read.


(5 stars)

Great history lesson. And to know that during this era we too (The White Man) are fighting a Civil War to end "slavery" and yet massacre Indians at the same time. I lower my head in shame. great reading, good job.

important and interesting

Excellent summary from a native perspective.


(5 stars)

This book stands out for its insight and honesty in recounting the lives of some famous native Americans. The stories are at times entertaining at times and saddening in their authentic account of tragic and courageous figures. An important lesson to be learned from them is how one can suffer defeat with dignity. Highly recommended.

Informative & suprising

From what was mentioned about 15 different chiefs, most of them had high principles. Few of them took advantage of the white settlers & almost none took material gain over the fact of being willing to share the land. Too many whites were only interested in taking more than what was fair or deserved & treated many indians like second class people. Thank for the narrator...you made it all so easy to listen to.

the was a real eye opener for me. It gives a true account of how the native Americans were treated and badly swindled out of their homeland. It is full of personal details of the chiefs' lives demystifing and humanizing these legendary men. very enjoyable. and well read, too. thank you so much reader! a great job well done.

Excellent!

Fantastic, takes me back to the stories John Trudell told me. We've all been 'civilised' the disease was efficient by the time it hit the americas. research your tribal history and see when you got civilised. )○( Blessings
