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.
