To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not to be, forgotten, however, that many persons are still skeptical of "Indian Civilization and Christianization, " owing to strong prejudices against the red man, or 27 because they have only seen Indians corrupted by contact with bad whites. So far as I may be viewed as a credible eye-witness, these details must remove some prejudice and inspire hopefulness, and this readily accounts for the character of this report. Another reason for extendino- this report is, that an organized oppos...ition to the present Administration is being formed in our frontier States and Territories, because the Presi- dent has placed the large appropriations for Indians beyond the reach of the dishonest men who claim this patronage as their right. Powerful combinations, formed to dispossess Indians of their lands, having been foiled by President Grant, are usiug money and influence to create a di- vision in the Rej)ublican party. Such men, and the papers under their control, pronounce the President's Indian policy a failure; hence the im- portance of publishing the testimony of credible eye-witnesses, who neither hold nor desire any office under the Government, and do not re- ceive honor or profit from it.
