| Summary | "History of the Indians, of North and South America" by Samuel G. Goodrich is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the various native tribes of the Americas, tracing their origins, cultures, and the impact of European colonization on their populations. Goodrich offers a comprehensive narrative that seeks to present both the grandeur and the tragedies of the indigenous people before and after European contact. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the historical context surrounding the arrival of Europeans in the Americas, noting the initial perceptions of the indigenous peoples and the eventual hostilities that arose from colonization. Goodrich emphasizes the significance of understanding indigenous history through the records of their conquerors, while also highlighting the losses of culture and life that occurred in the wake of European expansion. He introduces theories of Native American origins, describes classification systems for the tribes, and sets the stage for a deeper exploration into their distinct ways of life and the historical events that have shaped their destinies.
