An informative and wonderfully pictorial Letter Sheet of the California Indians in a period of decline and stress, who's customs and daily habits of dress, gathering, transportation and entertainment were little studied or understood.

Thankfully we have Hutchiings rendering today to aid our renewed interest in our native state. This copy with light creases and small spotting otherwise a near fine copy in blue wove, unrestored and with no tears, chips or holes. A single sheet with no signs of a blank folding leaf having been removed or ever present.
