Summary:

Written at the turn of the century by the founder of the National Audubon Society, Story of the Indian is an attempt to preserve the picturesque and original aspects of our western development when the figures of the real west were the Indian, the explorer, the soldier, the miner, the ranchman, the trapper and the railroad worker. As a famed explorer, naturalist and pioneer conservationist, George Bird Grinnell's knowledge of the west was gained by true-life experiences in ranching, mining and Indian life between Sonora and Vancouver, Texas and Dakota.
