Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in America and Italy, Vol. 2 of 2 Among the Savages all hear arms-men, women, and children; hut the corps of combatants is composed in general of one fifth of the tribe. Fifteen years is the legal age for military service. War is the chief business of the Savages, .and. the sole ground of their policy; it has something more legitimate than war between civilized nations, because it is almost always declared for the very existence of the tribe by which it is undertaken; its object being the preservation of hunting grounds, or lands adapted to culture.
