Excerpt from Life Among the Choctaw Indians, and Sketches of the South-West The only hope of the Indians, in my opinion, is in their conversion to Christ, not nominally by bribery and beads, but savingly by the simple Gospel, at tended by the power of the Holy Spirit.

These facts are illustrated in the pages of this new work, Life Among the Choctaw Indians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
