In 19th century Pennsylvania, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School stood at the centre of a national experiment. This native american history book is the school's own historical government report, setting out its aims, routines and results in the plain language of officialdom. The language is spare, official. For readers today it stands as a boarding school primary source from the heart of the indian boarding school system, revealing how native american education policy was framed, justified and administered as part of the cultural assimilation of natives in the United States. Compiled within the wider framework of United States Indian affairs, Indian Industrial School, Carlisle, Pa. offers a rare, unvarnished window into the thinking of administrators, missionaries and reformers who saw residential education as a civilising force. It is invaluable for history researchers and students seeking a primary source for scholars working on carlisle indian school history, native american boarding schools, and the contested legacy of state schooling for Indigenous children. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, from dedicated researchers to classic-literature enthusiasts building a library of pivotal documents.
