Excerpt from The Wild Man of MindanaoThey are vengeful for only thus can they keep their self - respect. They are murderous, for life is not valued highly, and social prestige belongs to the warrior, yes, even to the killer of the helpless. Most of their victims are from other tribes. But some Europeans and even Ameri cans have been killed. An American planter was sur rounded in his own field and slain by spearmen from the Mansaca tribe. A man from the Bureau of Science was killed while taking photographs among the Bukidnons. The first American governor of Davao, Lieutenant Edw. C. Bolton, who by his courage in going almost alone to visit the t'ribesmen, had done more than a regiment could have done in bringing them under government control, was killed by a Manobo. A notorious bad man in whose company he had traveled for some days.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
