The book chronicles George Catlin's extensive travels among various Native American tribes from 1831 to 1837, documenting their customs, ceremonies, and daily life. His meticulous observations resulted in over five hundred oil paintings and detailed journals, providing a unique and comprehensive record of Plains Indian culture at its peak. Catlin's work captures the richness of these societies before their decline due to external pressures, making it an invaluable historical resource.
