520			_a"Forty Years Among the Indians" by Daniel W. Jones is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative is based on the author’s personal experiences among Native American tribes and his interactions with various cultures during the westward expansion in America. It illustrates his journey from prejudice against indigenous peoples to a deeper understanding and connection with them, framed by his life as a Mormon settling in Utah. At the start of the book, Jones reflects on his early experiences crossing the Plains as a volunteer in the war with Mexico, marking his introduction to the realities of frontier life and encounters with Native Americans. He details a harrowing attack by the Comanche Indians that shapes his perception of them and describes his subsequent time in Mexico, where he feels a growing condemnation of his reckless lifestyle. This opening portion sets the stage for Jones’s transformation and offers insight into 19th-century attitudes toward indigenous peoples, setting the groundwork for his later experiences and relationships with Native Americans in Utah.
