Sobre este artículo
New York: Cresent Books, 1979. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First English Edition published by Editions Minerva S.A. Geneve. Copyright 1979. This edition published by Crescent Books. Hard cover in very good condition with white boards and gold gilt spine lettering. End papers depict a two page spread of a red-toned scene of Indians traveling across the land. Text block clean and tight. Half title page has shadow of a rectangle where it appears a name/address label fell off. No other markings noted. Dust jacket in very good condition. * From the front jacket, ""The literature on the American Indian, though large, certainly leaves room for a work offering a general account of current knowledge on the subject; this book, which includes numerous important illustrations, also provides certain new insights into Indian life. In the eyes of the conquerors of the New World .the Redskins could be nothing but savages. This blindness was to unleash a tragedy which eventually led to genocide, the disastrous extent of which came to be understood only when Indian culture and civilization had virtually ceased to exist. Besides a study of the origins of a great people, neglected for so many years, this book presents the Indians of the various regions: the Northeast, Southeast, Plains, Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Great Basin and California. The way they lived, their customs and laws, their agriculture, the mysteries of their medicine, their beliefs, their authentic and refreshingly original art, etc. is all explained in a vivid and readable style.""
