Highlight:
Not promoted
Date:
1866-68
Medium:
Brown and black ink and red watercolor on prepared card
Dimensions:
18 x 23 3/4 in.
Description:
Ethnography. Studies of Native Americans: a rare and extremely informative map of the
United States and western territories around 1840, showing the geographical home location of each Native American tribe including many sub-divisions within tribes. In the following years, westward settlement, treaties, war and disease caused many of these native tribes to relocate, form new affiliations, become absorbed into larger groups, or become victims of disease leading to the near extinction of some cultures or peoples, thus making this document an important record of a lost era.
