Our Indian Wards, by George W. Manypenny. Published by Robert Clarke & Co. (Cincinnati 1880). xxxviii + 436 + 7 p. Contents include an introduction
by the author; the main work in 19 chapters; and an Appendix (letter by Manypenny to the Cincinnati Gazette in regard to the treatment of Indians,
January 31, 1867). (The author was Commissioner of Indians Affairs from 1853-1857. From the Introduction: “In the preparation of this work there has been
no attempt to present a continuous history of the Indian race, or the conflicts with it from the time of the discovery of America. … In what is
narrated in the several chapters, it has been the object of the author to adhere to facts, and to give a faithful relation of the various forms in which
complications with the Indians arise, and the manner in which the civil as well as the military authorities deal with the wards of the government.”)
