The book explores the history of Native American culture in the United States, specifically focusing on the region of North America. Perfect for collectors interested in rare and special editions of historical and cultural significance. The book is in fair to good condition- the spine is still attached but loose, outer portion of the paper has some staining, no dust jacket. However, this is a signed 1st edition.
