The soul of the Indian
THE SOUL OF THE INDIAN is Charles Eastman’s fascinating study of the religious and spiritual life of the Indian people, as he knew them over 100 years ago. He explores the Dakota belief in God—‘the Great Mystery’, ceremonies, symbolism, the moral code of the Dakota and much more.
The life and times of David Zeisberger
The author stated in the Preface that this 700-page biography is based upon original manuscripts. He wrote, “In addition to their regular correspondence with the Mission Board, Zeisberger and his fellow missionaries wrote voluminous journals of their everyday life among the Indians, as also complete reports of any occurrences of special interest. These manuscripts, which are mostly in the German language and number many thousands of pages, have been preserved, and I have carefully studied them all.” A comprehensive geographical glossary and an exceptionally detailed index are found at the end of the book.
