Condition: Very Good. 1859. hardcover. First edition, embossed and decorated cloth binding worn, some of the cloth torn, front board loose. I title page lithographed sepia illustration + 39 sepia litho plates, foxing on most of them.

Native Indians were seen as treacherous and unchangeable following the rebellion.
