The introductory paragraph just gave mainly insight to the history of Native Americans during the time of the Dawes Act and the process of what happened there. It also gave a bit of a background about not only the Rapid City Indian School but also the other major and minor boarding school to pop up all over the United States. The one mainly talked about in the introduction was the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. Along with talking about the schools the introduction also mentioned the authors a various other books that have been written about boarding schools and also the styles used by those authors. After all of that it started to give a brief history/background about the Rapid City Boarding School (who attended, from what reservation, number of years operated, etc.) not detail to significant just more brief glimpses. Then, the author gave us an insight on how he was going to go about explaining how he wrote the book and how he is going to present his information throughout the rest of the book.
Similarities: This introduction gave some of the same information as chilocco, how the treatment was, how it was underfunded.
Differences: In depth insight about other boarding schools,
