First Edition . Unbound. Good. 6 beautiful mounted lithographs in a large textured paper folder, 16" x 13". (The lithos are 8" x 10"; their mounts are 11" x 14.25".) One water spot on front of folder which has made a bit of red ink in the illustration run; $5.00 price on lower left corner; foreedge a little bent. Each litho has a short page of text attached to the rear of the mount: that of #6 is missing; otherwise the art is in perfect condition. Babcock opened a printshop in Albuquerque during WWII (Babcock & Borough); their productions are scarce but they seem to have specialized in postcards, stationery and the like. They were responsible for some war propaganda cards, and a 'stamp' which they produced for soldiers to use (postage was free to soldiers). The Post Office objected to the stamp, and very few were used. Babcock later illustrated prizefights and seems to have been located in Iowa. This piece is so rare that we have never heard of another.

1887 1ed American INDIANS Prehistoric Animals Pocahontas Pontiac Columbus Navajo

In 1887, author Eldridge Brooks published one of the best 19th-century accounts of the Native American Indians. While countless other histories of native tribes existed before and since, few were as popular as Brooks'. Not only did Brooks write about the Indians as they were, their customs and culture, their homes and lifestyle, but also a thorough description of ancient peoples in prehistoric times, hunting mylodons and dinornis and their interaction with the megatherium and wooly mammoths.

Other noteworthy topics found in this work include:
· Navajo art, pottery, and baskets
· Impact of Columbus's arrival on native tribes
· Pocahontas and her family
· Pontiac and the Ottowas
· Tecumseh, and the Shawanoe
· Battles between Indians and colonists

"In this book, real life photos are used to help young people feel more comfortable with interacting with other children and making new friends. A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties. And, of course, new body awareness and needs for privacy develop naturally in children's early years, so all these feelings can make it very hard for them to let doctors investigate the workings of… Read More

Editorial Review by From Library Journal: "Klein's editions of the Reference Encyclopedia have been the major source for listings of information on American Indian and Alaska Native groups for more than a decade. The first section of the book contains the source listings, presenting names, addresses, and often leaders of the tribal organizations (both federal and other) across the United States. The resource provides similar information for Canada. The second section is the bibliography, which contains citations for 4500 in-print titles.
