About This Book

A sequence of letters and field notes recounts extended travels among numerous North American Indigenous peoples, combining vivid landscape description, ethnographic observation, and portraiture. The narrative details seasonal activities such as hunts and canoe voyages, ceremonial life including dances, pipe rites, and healing practices, and everyday customs like coiffure and dress. It records encounters with frontier military posts, the effects of trade and smallpox, and policies of removal, while offering material on languages, pictographic art, and origin traditions. Appendices collect vocabularies, comparative remarks, and narratives that illustrate vanishing communities and reflect on the region's likely future.
