First published in 1849, this book presents an unparalleled glimpse into Dakota customs by a writer who had the advantage of long-term residency among the Dakota people. The wife of army officer and illustrator Seth Eastman, Mary Eastman gathered the material for the book during the couple’s seven years at Fort Snelling in what became the Minnesota Territory. Illustrated with watercolor drawings from Seth Eastman’s frontier portfolio, this new edition of a celebrated classic is a feast for the eyes.
