Publisher's Synopsis
Our Caughnawagas In Egypt is a book written by Louis Jackson, published in 1885. The book is a first-hand account of the journey of a group of Caughnawaga Mohawk Indians from Quebec, Canada to Egypt in 1884. The group was invited to participate in a series of exhibitions and performances at the Egyptian International Exposition held in Alexandria. The book describes the experiences of the Caughnawagas in Egypt, including their interactions with the local people, their performances, and their observations of Egyptian culture and society. The author also provides a detailed account of the journey itself, including the challenges and obstacles faced by the group during their travels.Throughout the book, Jackson offers insights into the cultural differences between the Caughnawagas and the Egyptians, as well as the similarities between their respective indigenous cultures. He also reflects on the impact of colonialism and imperialism on both societies.Overall, Our Caughnawagas In Egypt is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known historical event, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of indigenous cultures and global politics in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
