The American Indian, His Life and Customs Booklet from the John Hancock Life Insurance Co., 1939. This booklet sets out to tell about the American Indian. It has sections on the origins of the Indians; Indian Traditions and Legends; Indian Villages and Houses; Indian Furniture and Household Utensils; Indian Clothing; Indian Food; Indian Ceremonies; Indian Children; Indian Chiefs; Indian Medicine Men; Indian Burial. There are drawings on the inside front and back, and small pictures and verses, probably from <i> Hiawatha </i> but not credited, scattered throughout. The conclusion states: <i>With all his courage, picturesqueness, and fancy, the Indian was a primitive man, a savage, -- weird, mystical, envious, ignorant, and cruel -- who, in the progress of civilization and the upward trend of mankind, must give way to more highly civilized peoples, a more cultured race. Yet we must not forget the part the Indian has played in the development of American life. Th him we owe the cultivation of various foods, whech have become staple American products; from him we gain much that is vital and rich in our history and literature. The canoe and the snowshoe are survivals of the Indian. We have recognized the wholesome and rugged qualities of the out-of-door life of the Indian and have adopted it as an educative force in the training of the child of today, as is evidenced in the Girl and Boy Scout Movement. In his free, out-of-door life, the First American attained great physical vigor, dauntless courage, and a quick intelligence. In the same manner these wholesome virtues can be obtained by the American of today.</i> Published by the John Hancock Insurance Co., 1939, there is no author credited. The booklet is 4-1/2 x 6 inches, with 16 pages. There is a place on the back cover where an envelope apparently stuck, and was pulled off. Under 1 lb. Shipping information will be found at the bottom of the home page. May be shipped Media (10 – 16 days) or Priority (3 – 4 days). For International shipping, please ask for cost quote.
