ABSTRACT
Sándor Bölöni Farkas (1795–1842) published a very influential travelogue about the United States in Hungary in 1834. The main aim of this chapter is to analyze his views about the Indigenous people in the wider context of the Indian policy of the Jackson administration, and in the context of the situation in contemporary Hungary. The author discusses Bölöni’s opinion about the Indigenous people in the mirror of his highly favorable general opinion about the United States, including the analysis of the prospects of the Native Americans in the United States. He also compares these aspects of Bölöni’s opinion to that of Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–59), who visited the United States at the same time as his Hungarian counterpart
