Picture-Writing of the American Indians V2

Picture-Writing of the American Indians Volume 2 is a comprehensive study of the pictographic writing systems used by various Native American tribes. Written by Garrick Mallery, an ethnographer and linguist who worked for the Bureau of American Ethnology in the late 19th century, this book provides a detailed analysis of the symbols and designs used by tribes such as the Navajo, Sioux, and Apache. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Native American pictography. The first section provides an overview of the history and development of pictographic writing, while subsequent sections examine specific tribes and their unique writing systems. Throughout the book, Mallery provides numerous examples of pictographic writing, including drawings and photographs of actual artifacts. He also includes detailed explanations of the meanings behind various symbols and designs, as well as information about the cultural and historical contexts in which they were used.
