Journal of Rudolph Friederich Kurz

As a clerk at Forts Berthold and the Union, Kurz, a noted Swiss artist, came to know well Indians, fur traders, and officers, and to understand the conditions of life in the region. He aimed "to give from my own observation a sincere portrayal of the American Indian in his romantic mode of life, a true representation of the larger fur-bearing animals, native forests and prairies." The volume, which includes 93 drawings, was originally published as Bulletin 115 of the Bureau of American Ethnology.Jarrell, Myrtis is the author of 'Journal of Rudolph Friederich Kurz' with ISBN 9780803257139 and ISBN 0803257139.
