Tah-Koo Wah-Kan: Or The Gospel Among The Dakotas is a book written by Stephen R. Riggs and published in 1869. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences in spreading the gospel among the Dakota Indian tribe in the mid-19th century. Riggs was a missionary who spent over 30 years living among the Dakota people, learning their language and customs, and sharing the teachings of Christianity with them. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Riggs' work among the Dakota people. He describes the challenges he faced in learning the Dakota language, the difficulties of translating the Bible into their language, and the cultural barriers that he had to overcome in order to gain their trust and respect. Riggs also provides detailed accounts of the religious ceremonies and practices of the Dakota people, as well as their beliefs about the afterlife and the role of spirits in their daily lives. He describes the impact that Christianity had on the Dakota people, both positive and negative, and reflects on the lessons he learned from his experiences as a missionary.Overall, Tah-Koo Wah-Kan: Or The Gospel Among The Dakotas is a fascinating and insightful account of the early Christian missionary work among the Dakota people. It provides a unique perspective on the intersection of religion and culture in the American Midwest during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
