Sobre este item
London: Longman, Green, Longman, and Roberts, 1860. First edition, 2 volumes, 8vo; pp. xx, 404, [2] ads; xvi, 472, [4] ads; 3 large folding maps hand-colored in outline, 5 other full-page maps and plans, each with hand-coloring, numerous woodcut illustrations in the text, plus 20 rather spectacular chromoxylographic plates from photographs taken by Humphrey Lloyd Hime, photographer to the expedition, or from sketches by John Fleming, assistant surveyor and draughtsman; original terracotta cloth, gilt-lettered spine; hinges strengthened, spine ends rubbed and with 2 tiny cracks; all else very good and sound. "During this exploration, Mr. Hind lived almost constantly among the Crees and Chippeways, whose habits and peculiarities he was most eager to study, and prompt to record. Everything in their life had not only the charm of novelty to him, but as a man of science, he was anxious to observe all the facts which may prove stepping-stones in tracing their origin and their history" (Field). Abbey, Travel, 630; Field 699; Graff 1892; Lande 1235; Pilling, Siouan, p. 36; Sabin 31933; Wagner-Camp 361.
