General note:	Toronto Public Library recognizes that the term “Indians,” used in subject headings such as “Indians of North America,” is offensive to many people. Although we currently maintain these headings to adhere to descriptive standards used by libraries worldwide, we and other Canadian libraries are working to replace them with ones that are acceptable to Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
Contents note:	Introduction : clearing the middle ground for American pioneers -- A peace, sincere and lasting : treaties and the eroding language of the middle ground -- Between savage cruelty and opulent speculation : petitions and the shifting language of settlement -- The long looked for storm : writing, religion, and removal -- Led by a touch of romantic feeling : art, science, and depictions of the vanishing Indian -- They found and left her an Indian : captivity narratives and the whitening of the middle ground -- With strong hands and brave hearts : remembering the pioneer -- A melancholy but necessary duty : forgetting the American Indian -- Epilogue : centennial celebrations.
