In making my bow to the public as an author, I feel it incumbent upon me to make a brief explanation of the motives that induced me to attempt this autobiographical sketch of nine years of my life. At intervals during the past decade, the country has been electrified by the recital of some horror perpetrated by Indians on white travelers, and those, who, having journeyed to the Far West, had settled, intending to make the wilderness blossom like the rose. Through the medium of the press, the details of these heart-rending cruelties were widely disseminated, and aroused the just indignation of all peaceful and order-loving citizens. To such an extent did popular feeling rise at times, that farmers and drovers on the border, organized themselves into bands, and on the report of some fresh outrage hastened to the scene, pursued the perpetrators of the deed, and not unfrequently visited upon the Indians a vengeance ofttimes of a very sanguinary character.

Seven and Nine Years Among the Camanches and Apaches is a personal narrative written by Edwin Eastman, which details his experiences during his time living with and among the American Indian tribes of the Camanches and Apaches. The book is divided into two parts, with the first covering Eastman's seven years among the Camanches and the second covering his two years among the Apaches. Eastman's account provides a unique perspective on the culture, customs, and beliefs of the Camanche and Apache tribes. He describes their hunting methods, social structure, and rituals, as well as their interactions with other tribes and with the white settlers who were encroaching on their land. The narrative also offers insight into the challenges and dangers that Eastman faced as a white man living among the tribes. Throughout the book, Eastman portrays the American Indians as complex and multifaceted people, with their own distinct traditions, values, and ways of life.
