To The American Indian (Illustrated)

Lucy Thompson was a full-blooded Klamath River Indian. She writes of the customs, life, and religion of her people, together with folklore, fables, and history. Lucy was raised, trained, and taught to be a Talth, the highest position within the Klamath. By virtue of this status, she was able to understand "...every word, every nod and gesture made in our language." In short, this is a book written by someone who knows what she's talking about.

This edition of the book contains the seven original illustrations, rejuvenated as much as possible, and an additional four illustrations of the Klamath people unique to this edition.
