The American artist George Catlin (1796-1872) was fascinated by the
indigenous people of his homeland and spent many years living among
them, painting them, and collecting their artefacts. In 1839 he
took his vast collection to Europe to exhibit it, and he also
toured with groups of visiting Native Americans. This illustrated
two-volume account of his experiences was published in 1848. In
Volume 2, Catlin discusses his travels with visiting Native
Americans to Dublin, and later Paris, where he staged another
exhibition and met King Louis Philippe. The final chapter recounts
Catlin's attempt to sell his entire collection to the United States
government to preserve 'all the records of this dying race'. His
earlier account, Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and
Condition of the North American Indians (1841), is also reissued in
this series, along with two later books for children about life
among various tribes.
