description: 1841. This edition contains both Volumes I and II of this book, which was written during the author's eight years of travel amongst the wildest tribes of Indians in North America. Includes 400 illustrations, carefully engraved from the author's paintings. 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. He built a unique record of the people America was destroying. The work changed his painting. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
