  • Jersey City, NJ: Clark Johnson, 1873
By Eastman, Edward
Small 8vo, original mustard cloth, illustrated with eight wood engraved plates, 209 [1] pp. Just a little rubbing to spine ends, corners a little crimped; otherwise near fine. There are two dated editions of this work, 1873 and 1874, with the same pagination and publisher. According to Graff, there is an undated version of some 219 pages, which he believes is an earlier edition. Graff also believes this was largely a work of fiction designed to advertise Dr. Clark Johnson's Indian blood syrup. Eastman probably borrowed from Catlin, but the work was popular in its time.
