N2  - "James's Account of S. H. Long's Expedition, 1819-1820, Part 2" by Edwin James et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work is a reprint of a portion of an earlier expedition narrative, describing the interactions and observations made by James and his contemporaries during their travels through the American West, particularly focusing on the indigenous cultures and their social structures. The text delves into the life, customs, and experiences of the Omawhaw nation, detailing their marriage practices, familial relationships, and societal norms.  The opening of the book provides an in-depth look at the complex marriage customs of the Omawhaw people, including the tradition of betrothal from infancy and the common practice of polygamy. It discusses the dynamics within families, including conflicts often arising from jealousy among wives, and the husband's role in mediating these disputes. Early narratives capture the distinct aspects of Omawhaw family life, such as childcare, responsibilities, and even the emotional ties between spouses, illustrating a rich tapestry of their cultural practices while providing glimpses into the individuals' lives within these customs.
