8vo, pp. [x,] 447. Bound in later 19th century paper boards & 3/4 rubbed leather on the spine. A very nice clean copy. Ayer 142; Howes H-813; Sabin 33921; Wagner-Camp 24:2; Field 743; Decker 42-150. This is a narrative of a captivity among the Osage in Kansas and Hunter's journey across the mountains to the Columbia River. For many years this narrative was attacked as a fiction, but Richard Drinnon, in his "White Savage: The Case of John Dunn Hunter" (1972) makes a strong case for its authenticity. The work includes much information about medicine as practiced by the Native Americans.
