About This Item

Princeton, NJ: Princeton University, 1969. Second edn. Folio. Booklet with paper wraps, pp. 48; plus loose plates rendering 18 magnificent serigraph plates of sand-paintings. In a box. [Bollingen series I.] Text and paintings recorded by Maud Oakes. Commentary by Joseph Campbell. A nice set. This ceremony was revived at the outset of WWII to prepare young Navaho men for military service. Jeff King was an old medicine man who remembered the ceremonial and celebrated it "night and day" for the warriors. In this twenty-fifth-anniversary second edition the format is handier than in the first, and the hauntingly beautiful serigraph plates--based on original works executed in cornmeal and pollen on buckskin--are equal in quality to those of the legendary first edition.
