Illustrated Historical Sketches of the Indians, exhibiting their manners and customs on the battle field, and in the Wigwam ... From the best authorities
A popular American compilation of Indian history and customs by John Frost, LL.D., issued in 1857 for general and juvenile readers drawing on earlier travel and captivity accounts. The 135 wood engravings show council scenes, hunting, camp life, colonial encounters and single standing figures in robes and feathered headdresses, drawn in open outline with hatched shading and vignetted edges that drop cleanly onto plain backgrounds.
