""Wanderings Of An Artist Among The Indians Of North America"" is a travelogue written by Paul Kane, a Canadian artist who traveled extensively among various indigenous tribes in North America during the mid-19th century. The book recounts Kane's experiences and observations as he journeyed from Canada to Vancouver Island and Oregon, through the Hudson's Bay Company's territory, and back again. Kane's travels took him through remote and often dangerous regions, and he encountered a wide variety of Native American tribes, including the Cree, Blackfoot, Sioux, and Chinook. He documented their customs, dress, and daily life in vivid detail, and his sketches and paintings provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of these indigenous peoples. Throughout the book, Kane reflects on the impact of European colonization on the Native American way of life, and he expresses his admiration for their resilience and cultural traditions. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a pivotal period in North American history and offers a unique perspective on the indigenous peoples of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
