About this Item

The Indians of Puget Sound - The Notebooks of Myron Eells. Castile, George Pierre, Editor. Seattle: University of Washington Press and Walla Walla: Whitman College, 1985. First edition, signed by Castile, without inscription. This edition was specially co-published by Whitman College because of the Eells relationship to the school: his father, Cushing Eells, a missionary, founded the College to memorialize the martyred missionaries Dr. Marcus Whitman and his wife Narcissa. Whitman is the oldest chartered educational institution in the Washington state. The narrative is taken from Eells monograph on Northwest coast Native Americans, originally written in the late 1800s, when he was a missionary on the Skokomish Indian Reservation in Western Washington -- essentially living among those people -- and was a keen observer of their culture. Much information on material culture. Contents include: names and situations of the tribes, history, man, surroundings, subsistence, buildings, furniture and household goods, clothing, personal adornments, implements, transportation, measuring, games, music, art, writing and books, literature, names, domestic life, potlatches, funerals, government and politics, religion. Nicely illustrated; many vintage historical photographic illustrations and maps. Hardcover, original jacket, 8.5x10 inches, 470 pages. A letter outlining the reasons for co-publishing is bound in. A commemorative bookmark is laid in. Very good plus condition, both book and jacket; firmly bound, no markings inside.
