From The Deep Woods To Civilization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162978710)

From the Deep Woods to Civilization is a memoir written by Charles A. Eastman, a Native American man who was born and raised in the traditional ways of his people in the mid-19th century. The book details his life and experiences as he navigates the clash between his traditional upbringing and the encroaching influence of white settlers and their culture.Eastman recounts his early years living with his family in the deep woods of Minnesota, where he learned the ways of his people and developed a deep connection to nature. He describes his education at a government boarding school, where he was forced to abandon his traditional ways and adopt the customs and language of white society.Throughout the book, Eastman reflects on the challenges and complexities of living in two worlds, and the struggles he faced as he tried to reconcile his Native American identity with the demands of modern society. He also provides insight into the history and culture of his people, offering a unique perspective on the Native American experience in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.From the Deep Woods to Civilization is a powerful and moving account of one man's journey from a traditional Native American upbringing to a life in modern society. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and a valuable contribution to the literature on Native American history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
