Diplomats in Buckskins - A History of Indian Delegations in Washington City by Herman J. Viola
This volume is a soundly-represented and imaginative study of the delegations of tribal representatives who visited Washington largely between 1800 and 1900....The diligence with which Dr. Viola pursued his research and has enabled him to write a most rewarding book which captures the agonies and pleasures, successes and defeats, and humor and pathos of the delegates as they conferred with Washington's sympathetic but mostly patronizing and diffident bureaucracy.
This hardcover is in fair condition with moderate imperfections to the dust jacket of discoloration and an owner’s inscription inside the cover. Pages in very good condition but the outside edge of pages has discoloration and owner’s inscription.
