It seems almost paradoxical that in late nineteenth-century America, when In- dian resistance was almost at an end and the Indian was popularly depicted as a vanishing race, white Americans were so concerned about the "Indian prob- lem." It was such a troubling matter, in all likelihood, because the Indian was not vanishing quickly enough; in addition, most of those who wrote of "disappear- ance" and even "extermination" were actually speaking of assimilation or amalgamation. They hopefully assumed the eradication of a culture Americans had never been compelled to understand, and which appeared to conflict so sharply with the economic individualism of American capitalism
