|  The native American has been generally despised by his white conquerors for his poverty and simplicity. | | Our old age was in some respects the happiest period of life. | | The American Indian was an individualist in religion as in war. He had neither a national army nor an organized church. | | Indian names were either characteristic nicknames given in a playful spirit, deed names, birth names, or such as have a religious and symbolic meaning. | | More than this, even in those white men who professed religion we found much inconsistency of conduct. They spoke much of spiritual things, while seeking only the material. | | Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. |
