This is a rare first edition of "Indian History For Young Folks" by F.S. Drake, published in 1885. Drake writes for prospective youth who seek to understand more about the Indian history. He states in the preface: "It is the story of the heroic, but hopeless, struggle for self-preservation of a weaker against a stronger race; and as we read it we cannot help sympathizing in some degree with the Indian in his patriotic effort to preserve his country and to drive off the intruding white man." The book includes a beautiful cover and numerous photos and illustrations. It is in good condition and measures 7" x 9.25".
