Copway George Kah Ge Ga Gah Bowh
Running Sketches of Men and Places in England France Germany Belgium and Scotland
New York: J.C. Riker 1851. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. With a few illustrations including a portrait of the author. Copway chief of the Ojibway American Indian tribe wrote this book in response to his travels in Europe. While claiming it to be primarily a portrait of important men of the times in Europe his observations go beyond that giving a unique perspective to European culture as seen through the eyes of someone not accustomed to it. He also recounts the publicity that preceded his visits by citing newspaper articles and captions serving to capture European attitudes toward Native Americans at that time. Rather than a traditional travelogue this book also gives voice to an often unheard from culture in America. In GOOD condition. Moderate soiling and darkening to the boards. Some scuffing. Moderate edgewear with some bumping and scuffing to the spine. The spine itself has rather heavy wear with darkening to the backstrip heavy pulling to the head and foot of the spine-the foot being tattered and split along the front gutter for an inch and the back about � inch. Inner text clean and solid with previous owner's name in pencil on the first front endpaper. Some darkening around the page edges and a four digit number written in pencil in the upper margin on page 338. Still a nice copy of this scarce piece of Americana in GOOD condition. Sabin 16721. J.C. Riker unknown

Cremony John C.
LIFE AMONG THE APACHES.
New York: Indian Head Books 1991. 322 pp 8vo 8 1/2" H. Facsimile reprint of 1868 edition. From the Introduction: "We have never striven to make ourselves intelligently acquainted with the various tribes occupying the vast region which extends from the Colorado river on the west to the settlements of Texas on the east and from Taos in New Mexico to Durango in the Mexican Republic. Nearly all that relates to them is quite as uncertain and indefinite to our comprehension as that which obtains in the center of Africa. Those who were best informed on the matter and had given it the closest attention were at the time - most unfortunately - the least capable of imparting their information; while those who were ignorant of the subject have been the most forward to give the results of their fragmentary gleanings. If this volume shall have the effect of bettering our present deplorable Indian policy by letting in some light it will accomplish the author's object." The author was "Interpreter to the U.S. Boundary Commission under the Hon. John R. Bartlett in 1849 '50 and '51 and late Major of California Volunteer Cavalry operating in Arizona New Mexico Texas and Western Arkansas." Dust jacket has a few areas of very minor edge wrinkling.
