Recollections Of Sixty Years is a memoir written by John Johnston, an Indian Agent for the U.S. Government. The book was originally published in 1915 and recounts Johnston's experiences working with Native American tribes in the Midwest from the 1830s to the 1890s. The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods of Johnston's life, including his childhood in Pennsylvania, his time as a trader in the Great Lakes region, and his work as an Indian Agent in Minnesota. Johnston discusses his interactions with various Native American tribes, including the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Winnebago, and provides insight into their cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Throughout the book, Johnston reflects on the challenges and successes of his work as an Indian Agent, including his efforts to negotiate treaties, establish reservations, and promote education and assimilation among Native American communities. He also discusses the impact of government policies, such as the Indian Removal Act and the Dawes Act, on Native American populations. Overall, Recollections Of Sixty Years provides a unique perspective on the history of Native American relations with the U.S. government in the 19th century, as well as a personal account of one man's experiences working with and learning from Native American communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
