The American Aboriginal Portfolio is a book written by Mary H. Eastman and published in 1853. It is a collection of sketches and stories about the Native American tribes that Eastman encountered during her travels in the western United States. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different tribe, including the Sioux, the Ojibwa, the Winnebago, and the Mandan. The sketches are accompanied by detailed descriptions of the customs, beliefs, and daily life of each tribe. Eastman's writing is notable for its sympathetic portrayal of Native American culture, which was unusual for its time. The book also includes illustrations by Seth Eastman, Mary's husband, who was a noted artist and officer in the United States Army. Overall, The American Aboriginal Portfolio is an important historical document that provides insight into the lives and traditions of Native American tribes in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
