History Of The Indian Tribes Of North America V2: With Biographical Sketches And Anecdotes Of The Principal Chiefs (1872)

Arts & Literature

This Tiny Folio™ volume is based on the well-known frontier artwork by Karl Bodmer, George Catlin, and McKenney &amp; Hall. Based on the renowned frontier artwork of George Catlin’s North American Indian Portfolio, McKenney and Hall’s History of the Indian Tribes of North America, and Prince Maximilian’s Travels in the Interior of North America between 1832 and 1834, these historic collections of prints and paintings were the first to preserve images of Native Americans before their culture was affected by the white man. Fulfilling one of the Library of Congress’s central missions—to document the printed, visual, and written history of this country—the images in this volume constitute part of the archive of the American memory. Native Americans found the world’s eyes upon them in the nineteenth century. Artists like George Catlin, Charles Bird King, and Karl Bodmer trekked to the West to paint images for those unable to make the journey and created some of the most important sociological, historical, and ethnological studies of American Indians. George Catlin, for example, was allowed to observe many of the ceremonies and games in the Indian villages which enabled him to provide a remarkably detailed picture of the tribe’s religious and social life. He wrote, The history and customs of such a people, preserved by pictorial illustration, are themes worthy of the lifetime of one man.” This extraordinary miniature folio will appeal to anyone with an interest in American art, art history, or Native American history.

This is the only single-volume hardcover edition of this classic work, originally published in three volumes from 1836 to 1844. More than 80 full-color lithographs, most painted by Charles Bird King. This groundbreaking study and documentation of Native American tribes from all over the continent provides an in-depth look into Native American culture before European settlers arrived on their land, which has become invaluable in understanding what happened to them in the aftermath. It is important for those who are not Native Americans to learn about these cultures because they have been so widely misrepresented throughout history. While of course some aspects of the book are dated, it is noteworthy for "centering" its protagonists and represents a unique view of history as it was seen by those who lived it. Publisher's Note This volume is dedicated to the memory of my great-grandfather and namesake, William Zimmerman Jr., who spent 22 years in government service, mostly with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, where he was acting Commissioner from 1947 to 1950, and to my great-uncles Chester and Carson Ryan, who both worked for the BIA for many years.
