Descrizione

301 pages. Bibliography. Gorgeous illustrations throughout, many in colour. "The exhibition which was produced in conjunction with this publication was presented jointly by the Oregon Historical Society and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. All ethnographic artifacts are drawn from the holdings of the Peabody. Although many of these artifacts are among the finest of their kind in the world and well known to scholars and visitors to Harvard, few of them have been seen by the public at large. Other non-ethnographic objects shown in this volume and in the exhibition are drawn from the holdings of the Oregon Historical Society and significant collections throughout North America and around the world." - from copyright page.
