Book Descrption:
The book of Indians was written to introduce children to the different “types of Indians living in different kinds of country,” and is divided geographically among People of the Forests and Lakes, the Plains, the Deserts and Mesas, and the Rivers and the Seas. Specific tribes are not mentioned but instead a study of life in geographical regions. The main character is a fictional child, giving a living history of their story, thus making this a “living book.” A glossary of thirty-one words is provided to aid children and pre-teens to become more familiar with terms of the book.There are no derogatory terms or attitudes toward the Native American cultures but just an engaging story children can become engaged in giving a rich educational environment. This beautiful reproduction has preserved the original artwork in full color lending to the authors’ original intent and artistic mastery.
About the Authors:
Holling C. Holling was born in Jackson County, Michigan and his wife, Lucille Holling was born in Valparaiso, Indiana. The two met at the Art Institute of Chicago and were married in 1925. Holling also worked in taxidermy at the Field Museum of National History in Chicago. He believed that children’s literature should be both entertaining and educational. The Hollings traveled extensively throughout the United States and Canada and were knowledgeable naturalists, well-educated historians, talented artists and writers. Their work reflected much of the firsthand knowledge they gained in their travels.
