During the International Botanical Congress in Edinburgh, 1964,
Mrs. 1. M. WEISBACH-J UNK of The Hague discussed a plan for
preparation by her publishing company (Dr. W. Junk b.v.) of an
international Handbook of Vegetation Science. She proposed a series
that should give a comprehensive survey of the varied directions
within this science, and their achievements to date as well as
their objectives for the future. The challenge of such an
enterprise, and its evident value for the further development of
vegetation research, induced the undersigned after some
consideration to accept the offer of the honorable but also
burdensome task of General Editor. The decision was encouraged by a
well formulated and detailed outline for the Handbook worked out by
the Dutch phytosociolo gists J. J. BARKMAN and V. WESTHOFF. A
circle of scholars from numerous countries was invited by the Dr.
Junk Publishing Com pany to The Hague in January 1966 to draw up a
list of editors and contributors for the parts of the Handbook. The
outline and list have served since for the organization of the
Handbook, with no need for major change. The different burdens of
editors and authors have compelled quite different timings for
completion of the individual sections."

Gilbert L. Wilson, gifted ethnologist and field collector for the
American Museum of Natural History, thoroughly enjoyed the study of
American Indian life and folklore. In 1902 he moved to Mandan,
North Dakota and was excited to find he had Indian neighbors. His
life among them inspired him to write books that would accurately
portray their culture and traditions. Wilson's charming
translations of their oral heritage came to life all the more when
coupled with the finely-detailed drawings of his brother, Frederick
N. Wilson. "Myths of the Red Children" (1907) and "Indian Hero
Tales" (1916) have long been recognized as important contributions
to the preservation of American Indian culture and lore. Here, for
the first time ever, both books are included in one volume,
complete with their supplemental craft sections and ethnological
notes. While aimed at young folk, the books also appeal to anyone
wishing to learn more about the rich and culturally significant
oral traditions of North America's earliest people. Nearly 300
drawings accompany the text, accurately depicting tools, clothing,
dwellings, and accoutrements. The drawings for this edition were
culled from multiple copies of the original books with the best
examples chosen for careful restoration. The larger format allows
the reader to fully appreciate every detail of Frederick Wilson's
remarkable drawings. This is not a mere scan containing torn or
incomplete pages, stains and blemishes. This new Onagocag
Publishing hardcover edition is clean, complete and unabridged. In
addition, it features an introduction by Wyatt R. Knapp that
includes biographical information on the Wilson brothers, as well
as interesting details and insights about the text and
illustrations. Young and old alike will find these books a
thrilling immersion into American Indian culture, craft, and lore.
Onagocag Publishing is proud to present this definitive centennial
edition.
