"Three Years on the Plains: Observations of Indians, 1867-1870" by Edmund B. Tuttle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book reflects Tuttle's personal observations and experiences with various Indian tribes during his time on the plains, drawing attention to their cultures, traditions, and the complex relationships between Native Americans and settlers. It aims to provide a more accurate portrayal of Indian life and perspectives during a tumultuous
period in American history. The beginning of the work presents a dedication to General W. T. Sherman and includes an introduction that sets the stage for Tuttle's engagement with the native tribes. He expresses a desire to combat sensationalized narratives of Indian life by offering a truthful recounting of their history. The chapters to follow suggest that Tuttle will explore topics such as the origin stories of different tribes, their customs, and significant events during his time on the plains. The opening also hints at future anecdotes about interactions with chiefs and the author’s reflections on the Indian experience, laying a foundation for a rich exploration of Native American life against the backdrop of westward expansion.
