1857 INDIANS Warfare Incidents in White Mountain

1857 INDIANS Warfare Incidents in White Mountain History Willey Illustrated

‘Incidents in White Mountain History’ is one of the earliest books on the White Mountains as a collection of some of the rarest of historical material of the White Mountain Indians. He depicts scenes in the mountains, narratives of White Mountain history, his family's destruction in a landslide, Indian wars, geology, tables of distances, transportation from Boston and New York, and more. According to Field,

“The author has, with creditable assiduity, collected much of that perishable historical material, which only tradition and family manuscripts preserve even the traces of. Chapters iii, xv, and xvi, are wholly devoted to the incidents of Indian history and border warfare.”

This 1857 edition includes 8 illustrated black and white engravings and an accurate guide from various cities to the White Mountains by Nathaniel Noyes.
