About this Item

A complete copy bound with "The Miracle Play of the Rio Grande." Original dark brown cloth, back board about half-detached, spine creased and cracking, corner not worn. First page has a single paper defect (hole) about the size of a dime, removing about four words on page two, some small pencil marks here and there. Otherwise a complete a clean copy of a truly bizarre book. The title page states: "Not For General Purusal" An unusual title by John G. Bourke, who was captain of the U.S. Third Infantry, and much better known for his other titles, such as "On the Border with Crook" (1891) and "An Apache Campaign in the Sierra Madre: An Account of the Expedition in Pursuit of the Hostile Chiricahua Apaches in the Spring of 1883." This work contains a wealth of information from around the globe, including much on the Native Americans of the Southwest, such as the Navajos and the Pueblo tribes. Among the topics discussed are the urine, snake and phallic dances of the Zuni and Hopi.
