Extremely ethnocentric, but read with a critical eye it offers narratives and cultural observations from a then-50-year-old woman named Pisatuntema, apparently incorporating commentary from her family. In keeping with the standards of the times, it appears that Bushnell reworded the account and edited it with a fairly heavy hand, without indicating the disparities between his editorial license and original statements.
