Friends and the Indians, 1655-1917 is a historical book written by Rayner Wickersham Kelsey and published in 1917. The book explores the relationship between the Quakers, also known as the Society of Friends, and the Native American tribes in North America from 1655 to 1917. Kelsey examines the Quaker philosophy of peace, equality, and justice and how it influenced their interactions with indigenous peoples. He also examines the Quaker's involvement in Indian affairs, including their efforts to protect Native American rights, promote education, and provide humanitarian aid. The book covers significant events in Quaker-Indian relations, such as the Walking Purchase of 1737 and the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Kelsey also discusses the Quaker's involvement in the Indian boarding school system and their efforts to assimilate Native American children into white culture. Overall, Friends and the Indians, 1655-1917 provides a comprehensive overview of the Quaker's relationship with Native Americans and sheds light on the complex history of indigenous peoples in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
