''From The Deep Woods To Civilization: Chapters In The Autobiography Of An Indian'' is a memoir written by Charles Alexander Eastman, a Native American author and activist who was born in 1858 and raised in the traditional Sioux way of life. The book is divided into chapters that chronicle Eastman’s life, from his childhood in the deep woods of Minnesota to his education at Dartmouth College and his work as a physician and advocate for Native American rights. Throughout the book, Eastman provides a vivid and detailed account of his experiences as a Sioux Indian, including his participation in battles against the US Army, his encounters with white settlers, and his eventual transition to a more assimilated lifestyle. He also reflects on the challenges and contradictions of straddling two worlds, as well as the importance of preserving Native American culture and traditions.''From The Deep Woods To Civilization'' is not only a personal memoir, but also a historical document that sheds light on the complex and often troubled relationship between Native Americans and the United States government during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Eastman’s writing is both insightful and poignant, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history and the ongoing struggle for Native American rights and recognition.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
