Synopsis
Excerpt from En-Me-Gah-Bowh's Story: An Account of the Disturbances of the Chippewa Indians at Gull Lake in 1857 and 1862 and Their Removal in 1868
No less than five whiskey shops are only five miles from this Agency. I have frequently caused persons to be arrested for violating these laws, but have never yet been able to pro cure conviction in a single instance, notwithstanding positive proof, juries always disagreed.
The troops at Fort Ripley having been removed, the whiskey seller has had nothing to fear from that quarter.

En-Me-Gah-Bowh's Story (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure: Enmegahbowh, a Chippewa interpreter who played a pivotal role in the tumultuous history of the Ojibwe people in Minnesota during the 19th century. The author presents Enmegahbowh's own account, written in his later years, of the significant events that shaped his life and the lives of his people. The narrative unfolds across a period of great upheaval: from the tragic consequences of the whiskey trade among the Ojibwe to the devastating impact of the Sioux uprising of 1862, and finally, the forced relocation of the Chippewa to the White Earth Reservation. The book delves into the heart of the Ojibwe experience, revealing the complexities of their relationship with the encroaching white society. Through Enmegahbowh's eyes, we see the devastating effects of alcohol, the simmering tensions that erupted into violence, and the pain and displacement caused by the government's policies. Yet, the story is also one of courage and resilience, of a man who sought to mediate between cultures and preserve his people's traditions. The author expertly weaves together personal anecdotes, historical details, and powerful reflections on the spiritual and cultural struggles of the Ojibwe people, making this book a vital contribution to our understanding of Native American history and the enduring spirit of its people. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
