Book Description
Over 175 years ago George Catlin, American painter, writer and explorer, realized that the white settlers would eventually destroy the native cultures of North America. Eager to preserve the vanishing tribes and customs of the Native Americans through his art, his encounters with these fascinating people resulted in the two-volume book, The North American Indians featuring fifty-eight letters and 400 engraved illustrations from the author's original portraits.
