Explanation:

As its available version on Princeton University, the full name of the text referred to by the question is Journal of the adventures of a party of California gold-seekers under the guidance of Mr. Ledyard Frink during a journey across the plains from Martinsville, Indiana, to Sacramento, California, from March 30, 1850, to September 7, 1850. From the original diary of the trip kept by Mrs. Margaret A. Frink.

So we should have in mind how California gold-seekers of mid-19th century thought about American indians and how it is visible on Frinks text. These gold-seekers saw native Americans as enemies in the way of their wealth because these populations lived on  theland where they wanted to mine gold.

During the Californian gold rush, hundreds of native Americans were driven out of their land.
