To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his valuable History of Minnesota, Rev. E. D. Neill, of St. Paul, compares Dakota women to the Gibeonite females of old, who were "hewers of Vvood and drawers of water " for the every-day requirements of life. He has seen a mother on a winter's day, traveling eight or ten miles, with the entire appurtenances of a teepee, camp-kettle, axe, papoose and several small dogs, all piled upon her back. And after arriving at the camp- ing spot and clearing off the snow, she proceeded to cut poles and... erect the teepee. She then gathered firewood, brought water, put everything in order, and commenced darning her lord's moccasins before he arrived to abuse her for not providing an abundant supply of minne- wakan. Mr. Neill says that in consequence of their ill- treatment, but few happy-faced wives are seen among the Dakota Indians. Also, that suicide is very com- monly resorted to by them as the only chance of escape from cruelties which they are unable to endure. The husband of an unfaithful wife may kill her, or cut off her nose!
