The American Indians by Time-Life Books 1995 (26)
Featured in this lot is a 26 book collection of "The American Indians" by The Editors of Time-Life Books in Alexandria, Virginia circa 1995. This is not a full set as there are duplicates of books and one book is missing. Numerous vintage black-and-white images from the late 1800s and early 1900s are one of the series' many wonderful features. The books feature maps, more recent color photographs, many of which were taken in museums, of both the native people and the original artifacts that have been preserved and more. The information and the essays gathered together by teams of professionals and great writers is invaluable. The complete listing is as follows: Algonquians of the East Coast, The Buffalo Hunters, Chroniclers of Indian Life, Cycles of Life (2), The European Challenge, The First Americans, Hunters of the Northern Forest, The Indians of California, Indians of the Western Range, Keepers of the Totem, The Mighty Chieftains, People of the Desert, People of the Ice and Snow, People of the Lakes, Realm of the Iroquois, The Reservations, The Spirit World (2), Tribes of the Southern Plains, Tribes of the Southern Woodlands, War for the Plains, The Way of the Warrior, Winds of Renewal and The Women's Way. The only missing book is "Native Americans of the Old West". The books show a faux leather covering with stamped designs, a color photo set in the center of each book and a yellow title against a black background. The spines feature the book series name, the title of the book and the authors in gold gilt lettering. The books in this collection show good condition overall with some wear to the covers and edges from use over the years. The interior pages show good condition as well. The books measure 11 1/8" L x 8 5/8" W x 5/8" D. The collective weight of all 26 books is 44 pounds and 4 ounces.
