The Iroquois: Or The Bright Side Of Indian Character

Descripción

The author (Anna Cummings Johnson, 1818-1892) lived among the Senecas for several months and provides an interesting perspective on Indian life and affairs, an unusual undertaking for a woman of her generation. An Indian name was conferred upon her during this time: Gui-ee-wa-zay "one who tells new things." Contains a black and white frontis illustration and several full page illustrations and text cuts. Legendary, historical and biographical information. Front outer joint broken, lacks front free end paper, old bookplate on front end paper, scattered foxing, top edge of spine chipped. With the exception of the front joint, a good copy in original brown blind stamped cloth covers with gilt spine decorations (which are faded). Pages 17 & 9 have a portion of the corners torn at bottom edge, only affecting the margins--not the text. Pagination: 317 p. with 18 p. of publisher's ads in the rear. Desirable despite the cover defects. Ref: Sabin 36183, Field 791, Howes J125 *Please inquire if you would like more information.* ; B&W Illustrations; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 317 pages. N° de ref. del artículo 1835
