He travelled widely across the western frontier to meet and live with some of the most remote and fascinating Native American tribes. During this period Native Americans were under severe pressure as the U.S. government was implementing policies which forced many of them off their ancestral lands and onto reservations west of the Mississippi River. Catlin's remarkable collection of letters are a brilliant study of the forty-eight different tribes that he spent time with. His work provide a vivid depiction of how various Native Americans lived, covering their homes, their weapons, their stories and jokes, their religious beliefs, how they treated the dead, their appearances, their celebrations and ceremonies. Catlin met many prominent Native American chiefs during the course of his travels and gives many fascinating biographies of their lives. This edition includes both volumes of Catlin's in one. The first volume covers Catlin's journey among the peoples of the Great Plains, including the Crow, Blackfeet and Mandan tribes. The second volume concentrates on tribes in Arkansas, Texas and Florida. "His task was to rescue 'from oblivion the looks and customs of the vanishing races of native men in America,' a task to which he dedicated his life and his energies. This volume helps us to appreciate the significance of the cause -- and the varied achievements of a remarkable man who accepted his own challenge." James T. Forrest, The Western Historical Quarterly George Catlin was an American author and traveller who was particularly famous for his portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Travelling to the American West five times during the 1830s, Catlin was the first white man to depict Plains Indians in their native territory. His book Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs and Condition of the North American Indians was first published in 1841 and Catlin passed in 1872.

Excerpt: ...of sacrifices there are three of an interesting nature, erected over the great medicine-lodge in the centre of the village--they consist of ten or fifteen yards of blue and black cloth each, purchased from the Fur Company at fifteen or twenty dollars per yard, which are folded up so as to resemble human figures, with quills in their heads and masks on their faces. These singular-looking figures, like "scare crows" (plate 47), are erected on poles about thirty feet high, over the door of the mystery-lodge, and there are left to decay. There hangs now by the side of them another, which was added to the number a few days since, of the skin of a white buffalo, which will remain there until it decays and falls to pieces. This beautiful and costly skin, when its history is known, will furnish a striking proof of the importance which they attach to these propitiatory offerings. But a few weeks since, a party of Mandans returned from the Mouth of the Yellow Stone, two hundred miles above, with information that a party of Blackfeet were visiting that place on business with the American Fur Company; and that they had with them a white buffalo robe for sale. This was looked upon as a subject of great importance by the chiefs, and one worthy of public consideration. A white buffalo robe is a great curiosity, even in the country of buffaloes, and will always command an almost incredible price, from its extreme scarcity; and then, from its being the most costly article of traffic in these regions, it is usually converted into a sacrifice, being offered to the Great Spirit, as the most acceptable gift that can be procured. Amongst the vast herds of buffaloes which graze on these boundless prairies, there is not one in an hundred thousand, ...
