March 26, 1868 issue

add to cart   close window

This article critically appraises the book "Upper Mississippi: Historical Sketches of the Mound-Builders, the Indian Tribes, and the Progress of Civilization in the North West," by George Gale. Gale has given a book worth much, and yet not as good as a little more care and labor might have made it. Freed from its many crudities and some bad grammar, and basing its conclusions on more perfect data, it would have been-trustworthy and valuable, one were about to say; more trustworthy and valuable is what one will say. For the student, to whom it might be of great use as a guide to fuller study, it should give authorities in foot notes.
