The Kansa or Kaw Indians and Their History; and the Story of Padilla is a comprehensive book by George P. Morehouse that explores the history and culture of the Kansa or Kaw Indians, a Native American tribe that inhabited the Great Plains region of North America. The book delves into the origins of the Kansa people, their customs, traditions, and way of life, as well as their interactions with other tribes and European settlers.Morehouse also tells the fascinating story of Juan de Padilla, a Spanish Franciscan friar who arrived in the New World in the 16th century and became a missionary to the Kansa and other tribes in the region. Padilla's efforts to convert the Native Americans to Christianity were met with mixed results, and he ultimately met a tragic end at the hands of hostile tribes.Through extensive research and firsthand accounts, Morehouse provides a detailed and engaging account of the Kansa people and their history, shedding light on a fascinating and often overlooked chapter in American history. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Native American history, anthropology, or the early history of 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.
