Numerous illustrations include black and white photos of Native Americans: Black Moccasin, Hidatsa Chief; Deer Little Woman, Assiniboin Indian; Sitting Bull's son, Crow Foot; Paintings by George Catlin, Karl Bodmer. From book flap: The Plains Indian of the Upper Missouri in nineteenth-century buffalo days remains the widely recognized symbol of primitive man par excellence--and the persistent image of the North American Indian at his most romantic. Fifteen cultural highlights, each a chapter made from research for a particular subject and enriched by contemporary illustration, provide a sensitive interpretation of tribes such as the Blackfeet, the Crows, and the Mandans from the decades before Lewis and Clark up to the present."
