Description
1881 Belden Stories of Plains Indians Sioux Native American Superstitions Hunting



‘Stories of the Plains’ is a 19th-century book of the journals of George Belden. Belden spent more than a decade living among the plains Indians in North America where he learned of their culture, tribes, lifestyles, and customs. This work, while often thought to be a bit embellished, offers a view into the lives of Indians living in Nebraska, Missouri, and Rocky Mountain states. Belden notes a few impressive stories including

Human scalping

Hunting bear, elk, antelope, and buffalo

Pipes and smoking tobacco

Burial superstitions

Rain dances and witch doctors



Howes notes that this 1881 edition is the ‘best edition’ of Belden’s story and includes tribes such as the Sioux, Crow, Shoshone, Cheyenne, and Arrapahoe.
