'The Indian: On the Battle-Field and in the Wigwam' is a non-fiction book about Native Americans authored and illustrated by John Frost. The sketches are drawn from a great variety of sources, and are intended, not only to exhibit the Native American character in all its phases, but to comprise in a small compass a valuable collection of narratives of their warfare, embracing views of their peculiar methods of strategy, ambuscades, and surprises—their treatment of prisoners, and their other characteristic manners and customs.
