Excerpt from Inda: A Legend of the Lakes, With Other PoemsTm: principal Poem in this little volume was written and delivered (with exception of a small portion recently added) before the Cincinnati Lite rary Society, in 1834. It remained among forgotten things from that time, until lately, when being honored with a request to deliver a Poem before the St. Louis Lyceum, I had recourse to my long neglected manuscript. Succeeding, somewhat, in pleasing my auditory, I was asked to furnish a copy for publication, and in order to eke out a volume, I have added to the chief. Poem, some minor pieces, (many of them juvenile.) Inda is, I believe, the first poetical effort, of any length, in which the characters are all drawn entirely from Abo riginal life. In its composition I endeavored to adhere closely to the manners, customs and peculiarities of the Indians, and I am not aware of any instance in which I have departed from them, even to avail myself of a poetic license.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
