Publisher Description:
Catlin's book is an adventure of the painter who was called "the great white medicine man" for his ability to paint. It is an adventure of a self-taught painter who vowed: ."..nothing short of the loss of my life, shall prevent me visiting their country, and of becoming their historian." It is a story of the great mysteries of the many tribes of Indians he visited - the mysteries of costume, posture and myth, the mystery of weapons, hunt and many games, the mystery of a life still close in connection with the Great Spirit, with the buffalo and with the traditions of thousands of years, all which would soon be destroyed. "Art may mourn, " said Catlin, "when these people are swept from the earth." Most importantly, his book is a book of direct, fresh and accurate illustrations that keep the best in Indian life alive.
