A History of the Indian Wars
Daniel Clark Sanders, 1812
[SANDERS, Daniel Clark (1768-1850).] A History of the Indian Wars, with the First Settlers of the United States, particularly in New England. Montpelier, VT: Wright & Sibley, 1812.
First edition of a rare partially suppressed work, “one of the best written Indian histories of the period” (Gilman). Reverend Daniel Clark Sanders, the first President of the University of Vermont, published this work anonymously, but soon after publication it received such bitter criticism for its strictures on colonial bigotry and cruelty that Gilman sought to suppress it. A significantly revised second edition appeared in 1828, published in Rochester. This edition omitted chapter 27 entirely, which here includes a summary of “the opinions entertained by savages of the morals of white people.” Church 1306; Gilman Vermont, p.240; Howes S-84; Sabin 76366; Streeter sale 727.
16mo (135 x 72mm). Contemporary calf, red morocco spine label (corners chipped, endpapers renewed, binding tight at beginning and end obscuring some text). Provenance: Ernest E. Keet (bookplate).
