Since the early 19th century, the number of published accounts of the openning of the American West has risen into the thousands. The greatest concentration of recorded experience and observation came out of the thirty year period between 1860 and 1890, an incredible era of violense greed, audacity and sentimentality. During that time, the culture and way of life of the American Indian was destroyed and out of that time came virtually all the great tails of the American West. Only occassionally was the voice of an Indian heard. Yet they are not all lost those Indian voices of the past. A few authentic accounts of this importan period of American history were recorded by Indians. Newspaper reporters frequently interviewed warriors and chiefs and gave them the oportunity to express their own opinions on what was happening. The quality of these interviews varied greatly, depending upon the wilingness of the Indians to speak freely or upon each interpreter’s ability. The Indians depended on imagery to express their thoughts. With a good interpreter, an Indians words could be made to sound poetic but with a poor interpreter, they might sound flat.
