BAE Bulletin 194. " At the time I undertook this study, the older Hidatsa men and women had lived much as their grandparents had when the firt fur traders and explorers visited them at their villages downstream on both banks of the Knife River. This was the last chance anthropologists would ever have to get first-hand information from those who had lived by the ancient culture." - Introduction. His informants included Wolf Chief, Crows Heart, Bears Arm, The primary purpose of this study was to reconstruct the aboriginal culture of the Hidatsa as it would have been observed about 1836, prior to the last major smallpox epidemic.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
