MCKENNEY AND HALL
THE INDIAN TRIBES OF NORTH AMERICA

McKenney, Thomas L. and James Hall. INDIAN TRIBES OF NORTH AMERICA, WITH BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND ANECDOTES OF THE PRINCIPAL CHIEFS. DEFINITIVE ED. LIMITED TO 200 COPIES.

(Edinburgh: John Grant, 1933-1934). 3 volumes. Edited by Frederick Webb Hodge. 123 full-page color plates with tissue guards, photogravure portraits, and two folding maps at rear of volume three. Large 8vo, blue clothe lettered in gilt on spine. A very nice and clean set. The scarce dust jackets for volumes one and two show some age mellowing and some chipping. There is no dust jacket for volume one. Blue gilt cloth covers. Very tight set, in excellent condition. This edition, very scarce, is especially prized for the quality of the paper, bindings, and illustrations, and is considered the best 20th century edition of the finest color illustrated study of the North American Indian.

§ The value of McKenney and Hall's work lies chiefly in the fact that it records the features of numerous Indians prominent in the history of the United States in portraits painted from life, showing their native costumes, facial painting, hairdressing, ornaments, etc. Also, the fact that the data for many of the biographies were obtained during the lifetime of the individuals, and is the only source of information respecting them, is of significant value.
