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.

My Sunday afternoon.
"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.
A #bookexpo freebie. Read it on the bus back—short book, long trip. I'd love to get into it. As a Greek-reading former ancient history grad student frustrated by facile nonsense about the New Testament (“how do we know Jesus even existed?“ “Aren't ancient manuscripts just games of telephone?“), I've wanted such a book for some time. And it *mostly* delivers. But this 451 business is irritating. If I can't form a complete thought, why bother?
