Indian Treaties 1873 Original Compilation Tribes Native American History Rare

This is a special book! I hate to use the word rare when describing a book – the term is overused. But in this case it applies. I challenge anyone to find another original copy of this book for sale anywhere in the world. Sure – you can probably find this same info online or maybe in a reprint. But there is something wonderful about having an original. Yes this volume has condition issues. But the covers, in leather, still present. The book is still perfectly readable and usable, although it needs to be handled with care. The pages are not fragile. This listing is for the book shown in the photos. This volume is now 152 years old – this is not a later reprint. This book is a fantastic reference for the historian, researcher or collector of Native American history. Read all the thousands of promises once made, and then later broken. There is a detailed Index at the rear – so you can easily find treaties made with each tribe – there are hundreds of tribes listed. Here you can read the detailed provisions of every treaty in effect at this date – 1873. A COMPILATION OF ALL THE TREATIES BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE INDIAN TRIBES NOW IN FORCE AS LAWS. PREPARED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT OF CONGRESS, APPROVED MARCH 3, 1873, ENTITLED AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION TO CONGRESS OF THE REVISION OF THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, CONSOLIDATING THE LAWS RELATING TO THE POST-ROADS, AND A CODE RELATING TO MILITARY OFFENSES, AND THE REVISION OF TREATIES WITH THE INDIAN TRIBES NOW IN FORCE. By Government Printing Office Washington 1873. Size of book is 11″ x 8″. Overall condition is fair, but most all interior pages very good. Writing on first and last blank pages and maybe just a small number of notations on interior pages. Spine degrading and was taped at some point. Binding holding OK with splitting near the center. Mostly all text clean and clear. Sorry, no sales to Canada or anywhere other than 50 U. If you visit someone, and you see no books in their house – Run Away!
