Author appears to be Augustus Ward Loomis. It is an "account of about a year spent among the Creek Indians who were located along the Arkansas River,west of the state of Arkansas. Written in 1859 you can really get a picture of what life was like. Not many names of people given, just descriptions. Some of the first sections are: CreeK Indians Van Buren Fellow Passengers White Indian What boarding schools have done Fort Coffee Fort Gibson Verdigris Landing Tallahassa Mission Kowetah Mission..... Most section are only a few paragraphs, like a journal.
