Of these authors, who do you believe expresses the truest description of the native peoples? Contrast how these writings would be received today.

Part II: Readers have been interested in de Crevecoeur's writings as a documentation of life in America at that time and as an idea of what being an American is all about. More recently, readers have also considered his work an examination of the whole human experience.
