First published in 1892, Blackfoot Lodge Tales is based on George Bird Grinnell’s extensive personal knowledge of the three tribes of the Blackfoot nation. Grinnell, an ethnologist, writer, editor, explorer, creator of Glacier national Park and proctector of Yellowstone National Park, had great compassion for and understanding of Indians at a time when most men of the frontier were both uninterested in and unable to record the Indians’ oral literature.

This oversized novelty book has a gold cover with red, plastic, “jewel” inlays to add to the drama. Written as an amateur Egyptologist’s travel journal from 1926, each spread covers a distinct area of antiquity and is mainly factual in content, except for the author’s chatty asides. The type resembles that of an old manual typewriter and the photos, reproductions, and sketches make the journal seem more realistic. There are papyrus pull-outs, pop-up art, minibooks, and fold-out maps and an envelope in the back with period postcards, ticket stubs, etc. Libraries will find the book useful for teaching journal writing, but difficult to keep together.–Carol Wichman, formerly at Northridge Local Schools, Dayton, OH
