Excerpt from With the Indians in France I have not attempted to write a Military History of the Indian Army Corps in France. I lay no claim to describing the course of events on the British Front, as a Whole, during 1914 - 15, except in as far as they concern the Corps. The excellent account written by lieut.-colonel Merewether, Indian Army, and Sir Frederick Smith, Bart. (the Indian Corps in France, published by John Murray), both of Whom served on my Staff as Recording Officers on behalf of the India and War Offices, and who have had at their disposal all the official records, furnishes ample details of the movements and the doings of the Corps as forming an integral part of the British Army in Flanders. I have not had the advantages of papers of reference, nor have I seen all the diaries of the various Commanders and others, and have had the handicap of writing most of my story far removed from England; but it must be borne in mind that a great part of their information was naturally derived from my own reports and correspondence, and of nearly all such I kept copies, and have used them. If, therefore, in some cases our descriptions of military events appear somewhat similar the reason will be readily understood. Also I kept a very careful Diary from day to day which has enabled me to write with certainty of the events recorded.

Excerpt from The Indian Corps in France I AM not at all clear why an Introduction should be needed to this important and thrilling narrative of the deeds of the Indian Corps in France in the early days of the Great War, in addition to the excellent Preface which has already been contributed by the Authors. Still less is it clear Why a remote spectator should have been urged to undertake the task. It can only be because a former Viceroy must have enjoyed many opportunities during his term of. Office in India of making the acquaintance and realizing the superb qualities of the Indian Army, that he should be invited, Or would consent - as I have willingly done - to join in this tribute to their latest achievement.

Excerpt from Our Debt to the Red Man: The French-Indians in the Development of the United States The mixed-blood Indian is so widely regarded with disfavor, owing to the superficial criticism heaped upon him in certain quarters, that Mrs. Houghton's book will make a strong appeal to all fair-minded students of our aboriginal race problem. The too prevalent impression is doubtless based on the fact that, of late years, the natural resources of some Indian reservations have attracted speculative white adventurers, not a few of whom, taking Indian women to wife, have sadly neglected the children born of their union. But, as those of us know who are familiar at first hand with frontier conditions, any such sweeping judgment is unjust; for on every side we meet squawmen who, though uneducated in the ordinary sense, have proved their possession of character and force, and have devoted their best faculties to the improvement of their families and the advancement of the tribes with which they are affiliated. In the volume before us, Mrs. Houghton has largely confined her observations to the Indians who trace their white blood to French sources. Her great store of data is the fruit of a painstaking search of several years through records ancient and modern, official and scientific, religious and literary.

Excerpt from The Fox Indians During the French Regime With regard to the use of canoes by the Foxes, it is repeatedly stated by the early teachers and missionaries that they did not know their use - Wis. Hist. Coils, xvi, pp. '56, 257, 374; N. Y. Colon. Docs, ix, p. 160. Later, however, they appear to have learned to em ploy them from their Winnebago and Potawatomi neighbors; see Wis. Hist.

Excerpt from Manuscript Records of the French and Indian War in the Library of the Society The first portion of this volume centers about the person ality of Sir William Johnson, one of the most notable of American Colonial leaders. Although it summarizes but a small portion of the correspondence of a man of wide influence and of long continued authority, it contains letters nowhere else available.

Excerpt from On Two Fronts: Being the Adventures of an Indian Mule Corps in France and Gallipoli This book has been written during a long period of enforced idleness. It makes no claim either to literary or historical merit, but is a plain tale of personal experiences in the War. Having been written almost entirely from memory, assisted only by the briefest of diaries, I fear that it must inevitably contain some inaccuracies for which I ask indulgence.

Excerpt from Conrad Weiser: And the Indian Policy of Colonial Pennsylvania During colonial times the French greatly excelled the English in their ability to secure the friendship and the trade of the Indians. The eagerness which characterized the men of New France, as they explored the water-courses searching for new scenes and new lands, was in marked contrast with the conservative English who clustered near the coast and despised Indian affiliations. The French quickly absorbed the Indians' customs and language, and reveled in their metaphorical phrases.
