Seller's Description:
Good- 1st printing. 703pp. No portrait this copy. Schoolcraft, after expeditions seeking the source of the Mississippi River, had various appointments, including Supt. of Indian Affairs in on Lake Superior & in Michigan. He "pioneered early anthropological and ethnological studies of the American Indian." (WCB). The copy should be rebound, but is plenty tight as a reading/research copy. A library re-backed it with basic materials & typed label; it has library marks/plates. Hinge broken after 1st signature (p. vi), but intact with the library's repair at front hinge. Back hinge cracked. WCB 203b, Graff 3699, Howes S190.
