EASTMAN, Mary H[enderson]. THE AMERICAN ANNUAL: ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE 
EARLY HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICA. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott, [1854]. 
First Edition. Quarto (7-1/2" x 10-3/4") bound in the publisher's 
gilt-decorated gray cloth, all edges gilt. Illustrated with 21 fine 
steel-engraved plates, mainly of the Sioux and the Pueblo, after Seth 
Eastman, the author's husband and one of the finest artists of the 
frontier American West. The Eastmans depict in words and pictures from 
their own firsthand experiences the life and manners of Native Americans 
in the 1840s. Foxing, mostly light and marginal but occasionally in the 
image. A few pages toward the end partly detached. Some fading and light 
wear to spine ends. Very Good.
