About This Item
Pamphlet, 8vo original wrappers 47 pp. Front wrapper has remnant of paper sticker; and title page has library stamp. A few minor chips at the edges. Overall very good or better. Early work on the Western tribes, which takes a look at the impact of U.S. Government relocation policies. Lang and Taylor were Quakers who visited the Winnebago, Kickapoo, Cherokees, Choctaw, and Shawnees between August and December 1842. Not surprisingly, they were quite disturbed about what they found, and this report presents a case for immediate assistance. Interestingly, one of the concerns of the Native Americans was the possibility of yet another relocation. This is a first edition, and while it isn’t totally clear, the Providence issue may have been published before the New York edition, which came out in the same year.
