I got halfway through but then gave up as it was just too repetitive with variations on I went hunting and killed this many animals. Not an auspicious start to my reading year.

I read this many yrs ago, probably on Gutenberg myself. Had there been an intro by Louise Erdrich I would have read it. And I love to read notes.
My first link down (in the comments) has a preview link which might gives you the first pg of the intro to help you decide. Click under book pic. The second link is a scholarly essay on the writing of it. The third link is some extra historical info.
It's very interesting story.
John Tanner was kidnapped from Kentucky at 9 yrs old by the Shawnee and then sold to the Ojibwa. This is his story dictated to a friend in the early 1800's. I went down a rabbit trail and stayed up until 4:30 in the morning researching Northern Minnesota burial mounds. 😆 What a dweeb I am.

"Whoever believes in him shall not perish..."
God makes the offer. We make the choice.
There will be no atheists in hell (Phil. 2:10-11), but there will be no God-seekers either.
Once there (in hell), they (sinners) don't want to leave. The hearts of the damned never soften; their minds never change. "Men are scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory (Rev 16:9 NKJV). Contrary to the idea that hell prompts remorse, it doesn't. It intensifies blasphemy.
DS9 5.01 #ApocalypseRising, another episode with an overused Christian metaphor, in which Colm Meaney is punished for laughing at Michael Dorn for his being stuck for 3 hours in the makeup chair daily for a decade. Funny yet tense Klingon cosplay story, introducing season 5's theme, Dominion infiltration. There is a Revelation in the episode, rather than a catastrophe, a rare use the actual Johannine meaning of 'apocalypse'. #startreksummerjune
