520    "Frank B. Mayer, a Baltimore artist, journeyed to Traverse
       de Sioux and Mendota on the Minnesota frontier in 1851 to 
       record meetings between United States officials and Indian
       tribes who were ceding title to much of Southern Minnesota
       and portions of Iowa and Dakota. This volume contains the 
       journal entries and sketches Mayer made on his travels. 
       They provide a descriptive and visual record of Native 
       American life as he saw it, particularly among the Sioux. 
       Mayer includes sketches of lacrosse, child rearing 
       practices, smoking the peace pipe, buffalo dancers, 
       teepees and summer lodges, and portraits of prominent 
       chieftains. There are also sketches of voyageurs and a 
       variety of artifacts and military personalities connected 
       with this chapter of Minnesota history. The materials in 
       this book have been selected from larger holdings at the 
       Newberry Library and do not illustrate the actual treaty 
       signings. Mayer himself acquired a distinguished 
       reputation as an artist and writer. Several of his 
       paintings adorn the Maryland statehouse, and he wrote a 
       number of illustrated articles for Harper's and Scribner's
       magazines."--|cProvided by Freading.
