"The men who opened up the North and West of the American continent, hardy adventurers though they were, could not possibly have traveled through and explored the Indian lands without contact and help from the Indians they encountered along the way. To close the immense gap between cultures and languages, the explorers needed a link - men who could speak to and understand the white man but who also knew the Indian mind and character. The story of these indispensable mediators (almost all or part Indian blood) and their adventures and exploits is the subject of Breeds and Half-Breeds."
