History of the Indian Tribes of North America
McKenney and Hall, 1837
McKenney, Thomas L. (1785-1859) and James Hall (1793-1868). History of the Indian Tribes of North America, with Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs … Volume I. London: J.M. Campbell, 1837.
Rare first English edition of McKenney and Hall's History of the Indian Tribes of North America, published contemporaneously to the American edition. Volume one is all that was ever published. "The complicated circumstances of [this title's] production have left a bibliographic stew of issues and issue points that are yet to be resolved" (Stamped with a National Character). Although this is a London imprint, it is of particular interest as it remains an open question how many of the plates were in fact produced in the United States. There is also compelling evidence that the frontispiece after the painting by Peter Rindisbacher was issued in England before the United States version (see Alvin Josephy's biography of Rindisbacher, 1970). Howes M-129; Stamped with a National Character 24 (note).
Folio (507 x 360mm). 30 hand-colored lithographed plates (frontispiece re-margined at outer edge, mild toning, about six plates with mild spotting). Modern half morocco over contemporary pebbled cloth.
