Set in 1891, the narrative follows the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission as he reflects on his two-year experience with Pacific Coast Indians, particularly the Wintu and Yana tribes. These tribes, devastated by violence and suffering, seek his help in appealing to President Benjamin Harrison. The author emphasizes the cultural significance of their myths, which deserve preservation despite the tribes' tragic circumstances. This work highlights the intersection of indigenous rights and the importance of cultural heritage in American literature.
