Excerpt from Indian Captive: Or a Narrative of the Captivity and Sufferings of Zadock Steele As time passes, and our stock of information grows, we are enabled to see the character of the Indian in a truer perspective, and to understand it better, even though we may not be able to excuse, or even extenuate, its grosser faults. A brief account of the Indians with whom our ancestors struggled in the early days may nor be out of place in this introduction, and may aid to a broader understanding of the story here related. The Indians whose daily lives are here brought into review before us belonged mostly to the Algonquian fam ily, by far the largest, in respect at least to extent of ter ritory occupied, of any of the families of American Ind ians. Their habitat extended from Labrador westwardthrough British America to the Rocky Mountains, and southward to South Carolina. The most famous of the Indians whose stories are familiar to us from our early history, as Pocahontas, King Philip, Pontiac, and oth ers, were Algonquians. This family was advanced slight ly above the state of barbarism - their chief marks of incipient civilization being the raising of corn and the making of pottery. In numbers they were, according to civilized ideas, very few in relation to the territory inhabited; but it must be remembered that although North America was inhabited over its entire surface by Indian tribes, they were forced by their mode of liv ing - chiefly by the chase - to scatter thinly over a vast territory, so that there were probably never more than half a million in the aggregate.
