Sobre este artículo
New York: Archer House, Inc., 1959. Cloth. Very good/good. A very good copy (reprint of the 1883 edition) in a good, price-clipped dust jacket. [Howes D403; Hand D220]. Rust colored cloth boards with chieftain blind stamped on front cover and black & gilt title stamping on spine. Binding soft. Red painted top edge showing loss to paint of about 1.5". Dust jacket showing fraying and a 2" tear to front of jacket, two short tears to the back of jacket and the jacket has been previously reinforced with clear tape on the inside. Sunning to DJ spine. 657 pp. including index. Octavo. As one of the first attempts to portray Native Americans as they actually were and not the typically romanticized version that treated the Indian as alternately an unmitigated savage or a dashing bold hero fighting for his native land, this work was critically acclaimed upon its debut in 1882. Fully illustrated with portraits on steel and featuring an introduction written by General William Tecumseh Sherman, this volume chronicles 33 years of experience amongst Native Americans of the West, including observations on their social life, religion, habits, traits, customs and exploits. This is an important record of American history." --- Google Books.
