Beschreibung
Signed and inscribed by author upon first blank leaf. viii, [9]-641 p. Index. Illustrated in black and white, including frontis portrait of author. "Close contact with our native tribes shows us the mistake we have been making in deciding that ignorance, superstition and cruelty belong to these people, and that there is no wisdom, truth or beauty in their belief and manner of life. A faithful study of the languages and customs compels us to acknowledge that there are deeper truths than facts, and under the blanket and coat of skin there beats a human heart, as there is beauty, sweetness and wisdom in their traditions and courage, liberty and devotion in their lives". - Preface.
