004 INTRODUCTION.

Andrew J. Blackbird, the author of this little book, is an educated Indian, son of the Ottawa

Chief. His Indian name is Mack-aw-de-be-nessy (Black Hawk), but he generally goes by the

name of "Blackbird," taken from the interpretation of the French "L’Oiseau noir." Mr.

Blackbird’s wife is an educated and intelligent white woman of English descent, and they have

four children. He is a friend of the white people, as well as of his own people. Brought up as an

Indian, with no opportunity for learning during his boyhood, when he came to think for himself,

he started out blindly for an education, without any means but his brains and his hands.

He was loyal to the Government during the rebellion in the United States, for which cause he met

much opposition by designing white people, who had full sway among the Indians, and who tried

to mislead them and cause them to be disloyal; and he broke up one or two rebellious councils

amongst his people during the progress of the rebellion.
