Life among the Indians George Catlin Books Reviews
Although the intent of George Catlin's book in the nineteenth century was to be for "youthful readers" (as he phrases it), this is a wonderful experience for readers of all ages and all times.
Catlin traveled extensively throughout the American west and South America for several years. His objective was to paint portraits of Native Americans on both continents before they vanished. For anyone who has thumbed through reprints of his art work, it is easy to see the man had talent, a great deal of it.
His writings and observations of so many different Indian tribes are sensitive, compassionate and supportive of Indian ways and customs. His adventures were many. Whether traveling up and down the Missouri, alone across the American prairie, or with a few companions through the jungles, Catlin was an eyewitness to a world now gone.
Great insight into the Native ways a must read.Good way for people to get to know real stories of the Native people and their ways,the way they really were long ago and the way white men treated them.
Told by a contemporary, the author's bigotry was amusing, as it is clear he thinks he is very broad-minded and fair.
I was very pleased to read this book and was surprised at the vivid descriptions of the natives, the flora and fauna seen on his travels. I am going to do some research in order to see
the "Indians" the author painted.
Very detailed and honest portrayel
To hear with Catlin's own words his experiences with Native peoples has greatly enhanced my appreciation for his art. What a vast record he has left for those of us who never got to experience Natives in their native state!
Catlin's book is a great read, but the kindle edition is lousy!! It looks like it was scanned and NEVER PROOFED! Lot's of errors, page numbers showing up in the middle of a page. 30 minutes of proofing and correction would have made a huge difference in this book, but someone didn't bother!!
This is good writing about a way of life that is gone. Not an old time "dime novel" it really gives you a feeling for life among the indians.
