Thomas Maybe Reid was an American writer who served as a soldier in the Mexican-American War. While much better known for his writings, much of his content inspiration came from his travels throughout the Americas. Reid was also inspired by the adventure novels of Robert Louis Stevenson, especially those reminiscing Colonial America and the lives of Native American Indian tribes. One of his best works was written while on a white-buffalo hunting trip on the American prairies. “Odd People”, as it is called, describes the people of various native tribes in the Americas, many with impressive illustrations. Notable tribes covered in this work include:

Eskimos

Man eaters and centaurs, of the gran-chaco

Tonga islanders

Comanche Indians

Yamparika Indians

Ottomacs, Orinoco Valley tribe in South America

Pampas Indians

Laplanders

Patagonian Giants

Dwarfs of Tierra del Fuego
