Not illustrated. 1899 Excerpt: ...in his opening address characterized the whole Indian question as a "vanishing problem." Under the title of "Our Red Brothers," P--c-Poiicy j0hn C. Winston & Co. of Philadelphia have published an interesting volume of 366 pages, by Lawrie Tatum of Springdale, la., treating of the peace policy of President Grant in dealing with the Indians. The book also gives many interesting and instructive events in the life of the author while he was in the Indian country, among the Kiowas, Comanches and Wichitas. Lawrie Tatum was one of the original nine Indian agents from among the Friends appointed by the government in 1869, when the then new peace policy, which had been recommended by the Friends, was adopted and put into practice. He was one of the most successful of the agents in dealing with the red men during the ten years while the Friends were in official connection with the Indian department of the government. The work done by the Friends in these ten years put the treatment of the Indians on an entirely new plane, and the policy inaugurated by them, though not always faithfully adhered to, has never been abandoned, and the results in the civilization of the Indians have been very marked. Indian wars have been but little known since. Those interested in the study of Indian history, not only during this transition period, but since, will find Lawrie Tatum's book a most valuable aid. The book is illustrated with a portrait of the author and with fifteen other illustrations.
