In 1832 George Catlin set out on a journey into the wild regions of North America. He travelled widely across the western frontier to meet and live with some of the most remote and fascinating Native American tribes. During this period Native Americans were under severe pressure as the U.S. government was implementing policies which forced many of them off their ancestral lands and onto reservations west of the Mississippi River. Catlin's remarkable collection of letters are a brilliant study of the forty-eight different tribes that he spent time with. His work provide a vivid depiction of how various Native Americans lived, covering their homes, their weapons, their stories and jokes, their religious beliefs, how they treated the dead, their appearances, their celebrations and ceremonies. Catlin met many prominent Native American chiefs during the course of his travels and gives many fascinating biographies of their lives. This edition includes both volumes of Catlin's in one. The first volume covers Catlin's journey among the peoples of the Great Plains, including the Crow, Blackfeet and Mandan tribes. The second volume concentrates on tribes in Arkansas, Texas and Florida. "His task was to rescue 'from oblivion the looks and customs of the vanishing races of native men in America,' a task to which he dedicated his life and his energies. This volume helps us to appreciate the significance of the cause -- and the varied achievements of a remarkable man who accepted his own challenge." James T. Forrest, The Western Historical Quarterly George Catlin was an American author and traveller who was particularly famous for his portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Travelling to the American West five times during the 1830s, Catlin was the first white man to depict Plains Indians in their native territory. His book Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs and Condition of the North American Indians was first published in 1841 and Catlin passed in 1872.
