   "My twenty years of life among the Indians, beginning forty years ago, embraced the entire territory from the Saskatchewan River in British America, south to the central portion of Mexico, and from the Mississippi and Sioux Rivers west to the Pacific Ocean, which area covers, as the reader knows, a large portion of our country's vast domain. It was then, except to the Indians who roamed over its far-stretching prairies and followed the windings of its rivers and streams, or climbed its mountain heights in quest of game, almost terra incognita."
