Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians

The American Romantic artist George Catlin (1796–1872) travelled widely during the 1830s, documenting the vanishing cultures of the Native Americans. In 1841 he published this two-volume account of his experiences, including over 300 drawings of people, artefacts and animals. Volume 2 focuses on tribes in Arkansas, Texas and Florida.
