Read the following excerpt before answering the question with an explanation on why you think your answer is correct:
"This book, except that portion of it illustrating the life and adventures of Wilburn Waters, the great hermit hunter and trapper, comprises a series of articles written for a weekly newspaper, partly for pastime, and partly to preserve for the use of the future historian a few facts connected with the early settlement of Southwestern Virginia, and which otherwise might have been lost. These facts, together with attempted descriptions of various localities, and all that the book contains, have the merit at least of being true. Being thus hastily thrown together, without revision or systematic arrangement, the author's only apology is, that it reappears in this form at the urgent solicitation of a great number of persons who read the articles as they appeared in the Abingdon Virginian, and who thought them worthy of preservation."
The life and adventures of Wilburn Waters: the famous hunter and trapper of White Top Mountain: embracing early history of southwestern Virginia by Charles B. Coale was published about a century after Virginia was first settled. Why might the author have shown his prejudices about Native Americans in a book that was supposed to be objective?
He had had a bad experience with Native Americans when he was young.
A fear and distrust of Native Americans was still prevelent at the time the book was written.
He may have met many Native Americans who were cruel to white people.
He was afraid that white people would not buy his book if he wrote positively about Native Americans.
