Paul Wilhelm's Disquisition, translated by Olaf Schmidt. 520 $a "In 1827 six Osage people--four men and two women--traveled to Europe escorted by three Americans. Their visit was big news in France, where three short publications about the travelers appeared almost immediately. Virtually lost since the 1830s, all three accounts are gathered, translated, and annotated here for the first time in English. Among the earliest writings devoted to Osage history and culture, these works provide unique insights into Osage life and especially into European perceptions of American Indians. Translated by [William Least] Heat-Moon and James K. Wallace, the three featured texts are surprisingly accurate as basic descriptions of Osage history, geography, and lifeways. The French authors, influenced by racist and sexist expectations, misinterpreted some of the behaviors they describe. But they also dismiss rumors of cannibalism among the Osages and observe that "the behavior of some whites . . . was not conducive to giving the Indians a favorable opinion of white morality." -- Publisher website. 650 0 $a Osage Indians $x History $z France $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Osage Indians $x History $z France $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Osage Indians $z France $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Indians in popular culture $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z France $x History $y 19th century. 830 0 $a American exploration and travel series ; $v v. 81. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220506012528.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210030821.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56C6D6748E3311E3B5D817AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
