THE INDIAN SIDE OF THE WHITMAN MASSACRE
Washington : Ye Galleon Press, 1973.. LIII p.,full-page illus. SOFTCOVER: (Orig. cream card covered sewn booklet with red and black titles. VERY GOOD)
¶ The author attempts to present the Cayuse Indian position in the late autumn of 1847, describing a fictional interview between a Cayuse Indian, Tiloukaikt and his imaginary white trapper friend. Although the interview is fiction, the author very carefully documents his material, giving sources for his information. The portraits of Tomahas and Tiloukaikt - the men responsible for the murder of Dr. Whitman - are from sketches made by Paul Kane in 1847, a Canadian artist who was travelling overland from Fort Vancouver to Eastern Canada. The background story of the Cayuse and Marcus Whitman, a man who did not get along too well even with his fellow missionaries! The Tragedy at Waiilaptu was but a minor incident in the history of Old Oregon county, but it forced a dilatory U.S. government to proved a territorial government for the area. The story became a legend. A very interesting sidelight on the massacre.

¶ Basil Johnston (1929-2015) was a linguist and lecturer in the Department of Ethnology at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.Rarely accessible to the general public, Ojibway mythology is as rich in meaning, as broad, as deep, and as innately appealing as the mythologies of Greece, Rome, and other Western civilizations. In Ojibway Heritage Basil Johnston introduces his people's ceremonies, rituals, songs, dances, prayers, arid legends. Conveying the sense of wonder and mystery at the heart of the Ojibway experience, Johnston describes the creation of the universe, followed by that of plants and animals and human beings, and the paths taken by the latter.

¶ An individualist in a conforming society looks around and does not see much that gives him hope. Compare what he sees and predicts for the future with what we see upon looking around and Kronenberger comes across as a smart cookie. A Cultural Inquiry into American Life. Every age looks at itself, compares itself with previous ages, and judges itself on the basis of the comparison. That is how history gets written, and that is why it keeps having to be rewritten; for the age just before our own, in particular, always seems almost glaringly. Kronenberger, always the consummate author looks alternately dispassionately and passionately at all sides of this controversially chosen subject matter.
