NY, Harper & Brothers, 1905. A later printing of this 1904 collection of stories that relate to animals. His second book, after his 1902 memoir, Indian Boyhood, and an early book in a long, and prolific, career. Signed by the author. Eastman (Ohiyesa), was one of the first Indians to receive a white man's education, attending, first, mission schools near the Santee reservation and, later, Beloit College in Wisconsin, Knox College in Illinois, Dartmouth College, where he took premed courses, and Boston University, where he received an M.D. degree. He went back to the reservation to practice as a physician and later wrote extensively, traveled giving lectures, and became a prominent public figure, holding national posts in the YMCA and Boy Scouts, and serving as Indian Inspector for the Coolidge Administration. His books are landmarks in the history of American Indian literature, as they were literate, early efforts at making Native American culture and tribal life accessible to a (largely white) reading audience. Most of his titles, like this one, went into additional printings soon after their original publication. Owner name in pencil on flyleaf along with Eastman's signature. Cocked; a very good copy, lacking the dust jacket. [#031470] SOLD
