Book excerpt: Excerpt from Days and Nights in the Tropics The common saying among the New England settlers that the only good Indian was a dead Indian, embodied the national sentiment towards the unfortunate Indians. The treatment of the tribes followed the sentiment. The Indian was pushed back, and if he resisted the invasion of his lands he was shot. In Spanish America to-day the Indians are in numbers practically what they were at the conquest. They are Christians and civilized, and are eligible to any office in the state, the church or the army. In two hundred years we of the north, writes Mr. Lummis, will be classifying, and articulating, and lecturing on the bones of the prehistoric Indian, while all through South and Central America the Indian will be cultivating the land and increasing in numbers.
