New Indian Sketches is a book written by Pierre-Jean De Smet and published in 1865. The book is a collection of sketches and anecdotes from De Smet's experiences as a missionary to the Native American tribes in the western United States in the mid-19th century. De Smet was a Belgian Jesuit priest who spent much of his life working with the indigenous peoples of North America. In New Indian Sketches, he recounts his interactions with various tribes, including the Sioux, Blackfeet, and Flatheads. The book provides a unique perspective on the culture and customs of these tribes, as well as their interactions with European settlers. De Smet's writing is characterized by a deep respect for the Native American way of life and a desire to understand and learn from their traditions.New Indian Sketches is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history. It offers a glimpse into the complex and often fraught relationships between Native American tribes and the European colonizers who sought to conquer and control them. The book is also notable for its vivid descriptions of the natural landscape of the American West, which De Smet encountered on his travels. Overall, New Indian Sketches is a fascinating and insightful read for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, as well as the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
