Excerpt from A Thrilling Sketch of the Life of the Distinguished Chief Okah Tubbee: Alias, Wm; Chubbee, Son of the Head Chief, Mosholeh Tubbee of the Choctaw Nation of IndiansIt is difficult to arrive at a correct conclusion as to the origin of the Indian race; it is supposed by historians sacred and pro. Fans, ancient and modern, that all the races which have been, and are now upon the earth are derived from Noah, that from Shem, Ham and Japheth sprang whtte, red, and black men, and from them the great variety of nations, kindreds and tongues. Some suppose that the Indians are descended from some of the lost tribes of Jews, that they pursued a northern course as far as Behrring Straits and constructed some kind of floating raft, and crossed over where it is only about nineteen miles to one Island, and about nineteen to another, and took possession ot the country before it was discovered by Americus Vespucius, or Christopher Columbus indeed, there is strong evidence to sup= port this View, from tradition, and a similarity of features.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Domestic Animals: History and Description of the Horse, Mule, Cattle, Sheep, Swine, Poultry, and Farm Dogs, With Directions for Their Management, Breeding, Crossing, Rearing, Feeding, and Preparation for a Profitable Market; Also, Their Diseases, and Remedies, Together WitThe object of the following work, on the History, Breeding, Management, Diseases, &c., of Domestic Animals, is to afford the Stock-breeder and Grazier a connected view of the entire subject in which he has so deep an interest. The writer has endeavored to compress within the limited space assumed as necessary to secure a general circulation and perusal, such principles and practice, and give to each that relative prominence, which it becomes the practical man to observe, to realize the greatest amount of value for the labor and capital devoted to his pursuits.Their history is essential, as it shows their introduction into the United States, their progress during the various stages of their improvement, and the comparative value of the improved and ordinary breeds. A knowledge of the best mode of breeding and management is of still higher importance. The first will enable the breeder to preserve the high character of the animals in his hands, or perhaps still farther to advance them; while proper management and feeding will prevent that deterioration and loss from disease, which frequently subtract so much from his profits.A larger space has been purposely devoted to the last topics, in preference to the subject of diseases, as prevention is not only less troublesome than cure, but much more economical. Feeding and management, after breeding, are really the important objects in view to the Stock-breeder and Grazier, for if these be judiciously attended to, disease among the herds will rarely be known.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
