NY, The Century Co., 1894. A collection of Pueblo folk tales, assembled by a white writer who had walked across the continent in 1884-85 and became enthralled with the natural beauty of the Southwest. Lummis' A Tramp Across the Continent published in 1892, is widely considered the first book to redress the highly negative images that Easterners had of the desert Southwest. He went on to live in Los Angeles, becoming the first City Editor of the Los Angeles Times, and his collection of photographs and southwestern art became the foundation for the Southwest Museum. The Man Who Married the Moon is one of the first collections of southwestern Indian folk tales; it was reissued in 1910 with the title Pueblo Indian Folk Stories. Spine-darkened, with cloth showing modest overall handling. A very good copy, without jacket. [#016727] SOLD
