Description:
Clarion Books, 1994. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Paul Morin. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not perfect, c. 1993 Clarion hardcover (pictorial boards - no DJ), first printing. Problem: light shelf wear from sliding in and out of shelf against other books. Not bad but there. Beautiful and haunting color illustrations by Paul Morin. Decorated end pages. CONTENT: Dazzling paintings and "assemblage pieces" containing historic artifacts and natural objects from the Great Plains highlight this spare, poetic account of a dramatic episode in American history. The Ghost Dance movement, envisioned by the Paiute prophets Tavibo and Wovoka, began in hope: Native peoples danced together to restore the bountiful world of their ancestors. But it ended in tragedy, with the massacre at Wounded Knee. This evocative story offers a vivid glimpse of a vanished past, and a powerful message for the future.
