English Poet Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden Of Verses" appeared in 1885. One of his poems "Foreign Children" begins as follows: Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanee, O don't you wish that you were Me. And it goes on to ridicule where the Foreign Children live, what they eat, and so on. This poem would not be acceptable in today's world, with its sensitivity toward anything speaking of racial differences. H.P.
Neither would a lot of what Henry David Thoreau wrote, as he had a very poor opinion of Native Americans.
