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. Volume
1 begins with Catlin's voyage to England across the Atlantic, for
which he embarked with eight tons of freight. He goes on to discuss
such events as introducing a group of Native Americans to Queen
Victoria. He also includes, in the appendices, press reviews of the
exhibition and a catalogue of his collection. Catlin's 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.
