Focusing on the rich cultural tapestry of Native American tribes, this work comprises letters and notes detailing their customs, manners, and conditions as observed by George Catlin. A self-taught artist who abandoned law to capture the essence of these vanishing cultures, Catlin traveled the American West from 1832 to 1840, producing hundreds of portraits and sketches. The first volume features fifty-eight letters and 320 illustrations from his original artwork, providing a vivid glimpse into the lives of Indigenous peoples during this transformative period.
