The Beothucks or Red Indians: The Aboriginal Inhabitants of Newfoundland (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Beothucks or Red Indians: The Aboriginal Inhabitants of Newfoundland
From this chaotic mass of material, I shall endeavour to sift as much of the truth as possible, and finally make such corrections as are deemed necessary, or offer such solutions of points in the narrations as seem to require explanation. Modern research in ethnological studies affords much new light upon such subjects, which was entirely beyond the reach of the earlier writers.
I am fully aware that all my efforts must still fall very short in many respects, and that there are probably, numerous unrelated traditions Which have not come under my notice. I can only claim that I have used my best endeavours to preserve from oblivion, the principal facts relating to this interesting but unfortunate section of the human family.
I had long since intended publishing the result of these enquiries but various circumstances interposed to prevent my doing so, not the least of which was the hope that at any moment some additional or important fact might come within my reach; furthermore, I had cherished the hope of being able to trace certain documents known to have been in existence, but in this I have been but partially successful.
