About This Item
Philadelphia: Franklin Printing House, 1883. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. 27 pp, in original printed wrappers. Near fine, with a few tiny chips. Pancoast was a Philadelphia lawyer who traveled to Dakota Territory in 1882 with an Episcopal Mission and spent a month visiting the Sioux Agencies. Upon his return, he and his traveling companion, Herbert Welsh, founded the Indian Rights Association, a primarily white organization dedicated to promotion equal protection under the law, education, citizenship, and land ownership for Native Americans. In this pamphlet, Pancoast offers a narrative of his travels and lays out his reasons why "civilizing" the Indians -- "making them self-supporting, industrious, and peaceable" -- is a "national necessity" and can best be accomplished through education.
