218 pages. 'A monument in itself... a sourcebook to which the scholar can return over and over again... a valuable companion to the museum visitor who wishes to learn more about the context of the Haida poles... pleasurable and informative reading for anyone interested in Northwest Coast culture... The historic photographs are stunning. To see the villages as the earliest photographers saw them is to recapture in part the wonder and majesty that was the Haida cultural heritage. At the same time the grief that was the destruction of the villages is all too apparent." - From back cover. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Moisture exposure to fore-edge of front cover and first fifty pages has resulted in light staining and mild undulations. A sound copy of this impressive work. Book

xxii, 638, 6 (ads) pages. Fold-out map. Occasional black and white illustrations. "It has been my object in this work to give as clear an account as I was able of tracts of country previously unexplored, with their river systems, natural productions, and capabilities; and to bring before my countrymen, and all others interested in the cause of humanity, the misery entailed by the slave-trade in its inland phases - a subject on which I and my companions are the first who have had any opportunities of forming a judgement." - from Preface. "There must be something in the appearance of white men frightfully repulsive to the unsophisticated natives of Africa; for, on entering villages previously unvisited by Europeans, if we met a child... he would take to his heels in an agony of terror, such as we might feel if we met a live Egyptian mummy at the door of the British Museum." - from page 199.

218 pages. From limited edition of 1600 copies. "Concerned entirely with the Haidas of the Queen Charlotte Islands of the last century, the intricacies of the kinship patterns of the great families, and how they saw themselves as part of a fantastic, but in its own terms, logical, cosmos, and most of all how this was all expressed in their remarkable architecture with its perfectly integrated massive carved and painted embellishments, the great totem poles of the Haidas." - from Foreward. "The documentary photographs that survive are among the few remaining records which illustrate the richness and variety of Haida monumental art. Of the more than five hundred carved poles which appear in the plates, only about fifty were removed to museums for safekeeping. The remainder have perished entirely or survive at the village sites as decayed fragments overgrown with the lush vegetation of the islands." - from Preface.
