xiii+191 pages with frontispiece, figures, photographs, illustrations, bibliography and index. Quarto (11 1/4" x 8 1/2") bound in original publisher's turquoise cloth with red gilt lettering to spine and cover and silver pictorial to cover. Reprint of the 1913 edition published by the Museum of Natural History, Handbook Series, number 2. The pictures are striking and iconic, but the story behind them is far from black and white. Here, we profile 19th-century photographer Frank Rinehart s remarkable portrayal of Native Americans. The 1898 Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition in Omaha, Nebraska, modeled itself on the exuberant Chicago World s Fair of 1893, right down to the Venetian lagoon with its swan boats, encircled by stately plaster architecture. However, the star attraction was the Indian Congress, a three-month gathering of around 500 members of 30 tribes, including the Apache leader Geronimo, then a prisoner of war at Oklahoma s Fort Sill. Condition: A very good to fine copy.
