Native Americans - Rich Breiman Collection
"These 19th century hand-colored Native American lithographic portraits were after paintings by Charles Bird King. The lithographs were produced by J. T. Bowen and published in three volumes by Thomas McKenney and James Hall. A Smithsonian fire in 1865 destroyed most of the original paintings and the lithographs are all that remain."

Indians of America - 1935
by Lillian Davids FazziniAbe Books________7/9/24Lillian Davids Fazzini was an author who wrote several books about various aspects of American natural history and indigenous cultures in the early 20th century. She is known for her works on Native Americans and wildlife, particularly:1. "Indians of America," published in 1935. This book was a small field guide (3x5 inches) that contained 94 color portraits of Native American chiefs, depictions of everyday life, and illustrations of Native American artifacts[1][3].2. "Butterflies of America," which featured 64 color illustrations[2].3. "Insects of America," another nature-focused book[5].Fazzini's "Indians of America" was published by Whitman Publishing Co. in Racine, Wisconsin, and included a foreword by Dan Beard[3][4]. This pocket-sized book was designed to be an accessible and informative guide to major Native American tribes of the time.Her work appears to have been popular enough to warrant multiple printings and editions, as evidenced by the availability of her books through various vintage and used book sellers. Fazzini's books, particularly "Indians of America," are now considered collectible items, sought after for their historical content and colorful illustrations[1][3].Source: Perplexity.aiCurated by Gabrielle Ly

Indian Massacres and Savage Life
7/20/24"Indian Massacres and Savage Life" by Henry Davenport Northrop is a book from 1891 that provides a sensationalized account of conflicts between Native Americans and European settlers in North America[1][2]. The book appears to be a product of its time, reflecting the biased and often racist perspectives prevalent in the late 19th century.The full title of the book, as indicated in the search results, is "Indian Massacres and Savage Life: Being a Thrilling Narrative of Bloody Wars with Merciless and Revengeful Savages, Including a Full Account of the Life of Sitting Bull"[1][2]. This title alone reveals the book's inflammatory and prejudiced approach to its subject matter.The book likely contains:1. Accounts of violent conflicts between Native Americans and settlers2. Descriptions of Native American life and customs, likely from a biased perspective3. Information about Sitting Bull, a famous Lakota leader4. Narratives that portray Native Americans as "savage" and "merciless"It's important to note that this book, like many others from its era, presents a highly skewed and inaccurate portrayal of Native American peoples and their interactions with European settlers. Modern historians and readers would approach such a text critically, recognizing its historical context and inherent biases rather than accepting its content as factual or objective[3].Source: Perplexity.ai-Gabrielle Ly
