The introduction to this book was written by Julius Seelye on December 10, 1880 at Amherst College. He had many careers from politician, to missionary, to writer, as well as President of Amherst College. He clearly stated his position in the Introduction to the book. The great difficulty with the Indian problem is not with the Indian, but with the Government and people of the United States (Seelye, 1880).
