Author Beede was a judge and a student of the North Dakota Indians and known for his books Sitting Bull-Custer and Heart-in-the-Lodge. This book of poems is not wholly-Indian related but largely so. He asked Melvin R. Gilmore. Curator of North Dakota Historical Museum, to ad a commentary and Gilmore has done so in the form of a 22-page Appendix. This particular copy must have been Gilmore's as he has signed the appendix AND made a manuscript note to Beede's text. On page 22, he adds a note to explain the meaning of the Dakota word 'Hwin" and on page 195 he corrects "than" to "when." It seems reasonable to assume this is the first printing of the first edition and given by Beede to Gilmore
