Text is clean and complete. No torn, loose or missing pages. Aside from exterior cosmetic concerns, this rare and highly sought-after Native American title book is in good shape. This is a large, magnificent volume entitled THE INDIAN RACES OF NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA, published in 1865 and written by the famous artist and writer Charles De Wolf Brownell. It is 760 pages in length and beautifully illustrated with numerous full-page, hand-colored engravings, and others in black and white. It is a huge, ambitious study of American Indian history, traditions and culture. The author consulted no less than 50 of the leading authorities of his day in preparing to write this book, including Samuel G. Drake, George Catlin, Henry Schoolcraft and others. In these pages you will read of the early New England tribes who greeted the Pilgrims in the 1620s — then just a generation or two later declared war upon them. The Virginia Indians, Powhatan, Pocahontas, and others who became famous for their interactions with Captain John Smith and other settlers at Jamestown. The Florida Indians and the Seminole wars of the early 19th century. The Iroquois, or Six Nations, and their stormy relationship with the white man through the 18th century, including the tribe’s role in the Revolutionary War. Also Pontiac’s War and the Siege of Detroit. The Delaware, Shawanese and other tribes of the middle states. The Indians of the American South, the warrior Tecumseh, and the wars that led to their demise. This book also contains a great deal of information about the American Indian tribes beyond the Mississippi – the Sioux, Dakotah, Blackfoot, Crows, Nez Perce and others. In fact, this 1865 edition contains a full chronicle of the Great Sioux Uprising of 1863 in Minnesota, from the massacre by Indians to the mass execution of Indians by hanging. These chapters are not found in earlier editions. You will also find chapters on the Indians of Mexico, South America and the West Indies, as well as the Eskimo people of North America’s icy regions.
