About this title

Synopsis

Planting The Outposts: Thirty-Five Years Among The Children Of The Plains is a book written by Robert Frederick Sulzer and published in 1913. The book is a memoir of Sulzer's experiences as a missionary and educator among the Native American children of the Great Plains region of the United States. Sulzer recounts his thirty-five years of service in various locations throughout the Plains, including the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency in Oklahoma. He describes his efforts to establish schools and churches, to teach the children English and other subjects, and to introduce them to Christianity. Throughout the book, Sulzer reflects on the challenges he faced as a white man working with Native American communities, including cultural differences, language barriers, and resistance from some members of the community. He also shares stories of the children he worked with, their struggles and triumphs, and the impact he was able to have on their lives. Planting The Outposts provides a unique perspective on the history of Native American education and the efforts of missionaries to assimilate Native American children into mainstream American society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Great Plains region, Native American culture, or the history of education in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
