MacLEAN, John [1851-1928]. Canadian Savage Folk The Native Tribes Of Canada. 8vo. pp. viii, [9]-641. frontis. portrait & 94 text illus. (many full-page). original black & gilt-stamped cloth (spine soiled & starting to fray at head, some light stains to covers). Toronto: William Briggs., 1896.
First Edition. The author, a Methodist missionary, was stationed at the Blood Indian Reserve near Fort Macleod, Alberta, from 1880 to 1889, and afterwards served in various western charges until his retirement in 1911. This substantial work is understandably largely devoted to the western tribes, although Eastern Canada is not neglected.
