Aboriginal America by Jacob Abbott

A compact, 19th-century popular history that surveys the indigenous peoples of North America, recounting their believed origins and migrations, the diversity of tribal customs, modes of subsistence, social and political organization, and religious beliefs, and describing their encounters with European explorers and settlers—along with the resulting conflicts, treaties, and displacements—presented in plain, didactic prose intended to inform and morally instruct general readers.
