　　From 1831 to 1837, George Catlin traveled extensively among

the native peoples of North America—from the Muskogee and

Miccosukee Creeks of the Southeast to the Lakota, Mandan, and

Pawnee of the West, and from the Winnebagos and Menominees of the

North to the Comanches of eastern Texas. Studying their habits,

customs, and modes of life, he made copious notes and numerous

sketches of ceremonies, buffalo hunts, symbols, and totems.

Catlin’s unprecedented fieldwork culminated in more than five

hundred oil paintings and his now-legendary journals, which, as

Peter Matthiessen writes in his introduction, "taken together...

constitute the first, last, and only ‘complete’ record of the

Plains Indians ever made at the height of their splendid culture,

so soon destroyed by traders’ liquor and disease, rapine and

bayonets."

　　George Catlin (1796-1873) abandoned his law practice to live

among the Plains Indians of North America, acquiring their

languages and studying their habits, customs, and mode of life. His

huge collection of pictures, artifacts, and findings were exhibited

around the United States and Europe to great acclaim.

　　Peter Matthiessen was the cofounder of the Paris Review

and is the author of numerous works of nonfiction, including In

the Spirit of Crazy Horse, Indian Country, and The

Snow Leopard, winner of the National Book Award.
