Description:
An important letter on Univ. of Calif. Anthropology Research Letterhead about the petroglyph sites she had surveyed in the Yerington area of Nevada. Her contribution is The Record of a Hunting Practice at Petroglyph Site NV-LY-1. The letter is addressed to the late Don Frazier whose expertise is best know for his bibliographies on the Derrydale Press and Will James, the author and artist on cowboy fiction. She addresses regarding his own interest in petroglyphs. He had provided her two aerial photos of the site and he helped her regarding his own interest in Arizona prehistory. She has used the large obsidian biface he gave her for which she thanks him and discusses her next project in surveying uncataloged petroglyph sites.

Somerville, NJ: Clark S. Yowell, 1928. Octavo. 15p. A scarce Indian captivities detailing John Stockwell's captivity by the Wachuset Indians. A harrowing account as other members of the tribe desired to kill him, meanwhile they kept him alive while forcing him to march with bare feet over frozen lakes, often starving along with the Indians, finally after they captured a raccoon, they ate the meat and forced him to eat the grease which made him sick. He nearly died but as the French and Indians negotiated, he was released back to his friends in Deerfield. A fascinating first hand account. Not in Howes. Bound in printed paper wraps, stapled, minute wear near staples. Near fine.

This began when Plenty Coups, the last traditional chief of the Crow Indians, recounted his life to Frank Bird Linderman in 1928. Though Plenty Coups was now aged 80, he recounted the vision that had set his course in life. When he was about twenty, he said, he had visited a traditional Crow site in the Crazy Mountains and seen himself as an old man. Stamped on page 44: Green Fields, Double A Ranch, Tucson.

Providence, R.I.: Roger Williams Press, 1945. Pamphlet Bound in Paper Boards. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 19P. A scarce item printed here for the first time in a small run dealing with the accusation that the Indians were made drunk before the transaction of land took place. Roger Williams reply was one of the few where his anger poured forth. While parts of this diatribe were published in Backus' History of the Baptists in New England in 1777, it was not until the document was acquired nearly two centuries later that the full item could be printed for the first time. Withdrawn from the Long Island Historical Society, no marks and all pages clean free of underlining.
