Herman Lehmann
Austin: Von Boeckmann-Jones, 1927. x,235pp. Frontis. Photographs. Edited by J. Marvin Hunter. Second edition of the 1899 original with the cover title Indianology. Endpapers slightly browned from the dust jacket, overall the book is a bright, fine copy. Jenkins, BTB 124A: “One of the most remarkable accounts of life among hostile Texas Indians, this is also one of the few surviving accounts of life in the 19th century Texas from the Indian point of view…The Hunter versions is much more down-to-earth [than the first edition]…” Dobie, Life & Lit. p.34: “Best captive narrative of the Southwest.” An exceptionally nice copy of a remarkable account.
