Curiosities of Natural History. Second Series. by Francis T. Buckland. Book

Although I am quite aware that this book was written more than a century ago, and that the opinions and human feeling toward other races were quite different at that time, I was still rather bothered by the intense bashing of the Native American in this book. It was also fraught with a great deal of religious mush that took a lot of the enjoyment away from it. Rather than being an unbiased history, it was one man's opinion of the west. The ideas of women during the time this book was written are highlighted by the maleness of the author. These things, of themselves would not have bothered me as much as the various places where history has been re-written and/or whitewashed to emphasize the author's whiteness. Not a great book to learn about the west.
