McKENNEY, Thomas L. (1785-1859) -- HALL, James (1793-1868). History of the Indian Tribes of North America. Philadelphia: D. Rice and A.N. Hart, 1855.
3 volumes, 8vo (260 x 169 mm). 120 hand-colored lithographed plates by J.T. Bowen, most after Charles Bird King (1785-1862). (Occasional spotting primarily to text, Moa-na-hon-ga plate with 1/2-in. marginal tear.) PUBLISHER'S DELUXE RED MOROCCO GILT, spine in 6 compartments with 5 raised bands, gilt-lettered in 2, the rest gilt-decorated, gilt turn-ins, edges gilt (scratch to rear board vol. III, very minor spotting to some boards, very light rubbing to extremities). Provenance: R.M. Kauffmann (bookplate), with gift inscription from "E.W.K." dated 1947.
Early octavo edition. The first edition of 1836-1844 was published in folio format, and the first smaller-format edition of 1850 contained the additional plate "Red Bird" as the frontispiece to volume II. The plates, which Howes describes as "the most colorful portraits of Indians ever executed," are from King's portraits previously held in the Indian Gallery, Department of War (Washington D. C.) before they were destroyed in the fire that ravaged the Smithsonian in 1865. Howes M-129; Sabin 43411. A FINE COPY IN THE DELUXE BINDING.
