1909. With sixteen illustrations from the author’s original drawings. During Catlin’s eight-year odyssey among the Blackfoot, Poncas, Crow, and Mandans, he lived with them, acquired their languages, and studied very thoroughly their habits, customs and mode of life, making copious notes and many studies for paintings. Afterward he wrote books about them, building a unique record of the people America was destroying. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
