Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. In 1875 the U.S. Army imprisoned approximately 70 Southern Plains warriors at Fort Marion in Saint Augustine, Florida. The warriors were given art materials and encouraged to draw as part of an attempt to 'rehabilitate' them. This collection of never-before-published 19th-century ledger art by two of those imprisoned artists is a fresh, vibrant record of an important chapter in American history. Over 50 color illustrations. In 1875 the U.S. Army imprisoned approximately 70 Southern Plains warriors whom they considered threats. Held at Fort Marion in Saint Augustine, Florida for three years, the warriors were given ledger paper, pencils, and ink and were encouraged to draw as part of the attempt to 'rehabilitate' them. From this artist's colony hundreds of drawings were done, most of which are lost. Historians consider the ledger book by two young prisoners Making Medicine (1844-1931) and Zotum (1853-1913), to be the finest example of its kind. Warrior Artists is a beautiful, historical facsimile of their work and an account of the phenomenon of ledger art. Sixty vibrant color pencil-and-ink drawings depict the Fort Marion experience including the attempted suicide of Lean Bear during transport, and the attempted escape of Grey Beard who was shot after he escaped from the train. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
