Samuel Gardner Drake's compendium of Native American biography, tribal history and war narratives, issued in a revised and enlarged third edition in 1837 for American general readers and antiquarians. The plates are captioned bust portraits, mostly wood engravings with dense hatching plus a few finer copper engravings, showing feathered headdresses, gorgets, beadwork, pipes and fringed hunting coats against plain or ruled grounds — usable as cut-out heads, small vignettes and costume detail.
