Introduction by Johnson's daughter. "These encounters with the Red Man were first written in a very brief form by my father, M. L. Johnson in 1918. A small booklet was published in 1923. Other accounts have been written and added to by him since, and at 86 years of age he has directed this volume which I have endeavored to give to you in an interesting manner. I trust this colorful history of Indian warfare will be appreciated by those who are interested in the pioneer life of our forefathers. Flowery descriptions and imaginary designs will have to be handled by writers better equipped than for such matters..."--M. L. Johnson's daughter, Elvira Johnson Pearson.
