8o (219 x 143 mm). Half-title. Woodcut and typographic tailpieces. (Some pale spotting.) Original printed wrappers, stitched (few minor chips at edges); green quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: Hershel V. Jones; Frank T. Siebert (his sale Sotheby's New York, 28 October 1999, lot 821).
FIRST EDITION. A scarce work on the Osage Indians, and other Indians living on the Missouri, written by Paul Vissier when six Osages--a "prince," his wife, cousin, and three "warriors"--visited France. In the first chapters, Vissier speculates on the origin of the North American Indians, with special attention to the Osages, and provides a general view of their customs, agriculture, food, social structure, law system, arts, religion, commerce, wars, etc. The last two chapters describe the voyage of the six Osages to France, including their visit to the French king, and give some additional information on their personal backgrounds. Howes V-133; Jones 890; Sabin 100607; Wagner-Camp-Becker 33a. Not in Field, Graff or Streeter.
