Blackfeet Indians

Description

1st edition. Quarter red cloth over red paper boards. 4to. 31x26x1.5 cm. Great Northern Railway. St. Paul. 1935. 68 pp. 49 full color illustrations of Blackfoot tribal members. Winold Reiss. Good copy with no dust jacket. Child’s red pen marks to front cover, shelfwear to extremities, missing piece of the paper covering the back board, tape repair to front and back inner hinges. Published in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Glacier Park’s establishment, the book frames the purchase of Blackfeet tribal lands as a saving grace for the natives who no longer had buffalo to sustain their way of life. However, each beautifully-executed illustration names and describes the person. This volume will be a great addition to the library of the descendants of the Blackfeet tribal members depicted, people interested in Blackfeet history, people interested in the history of American National Parks, and people who appreciate the art of Winold Reiss.
