The thirteenth text volume in Curtis' monumental work on the Indians of North American, with came to number twenty text volumes, each with an accompanying portfolio of large photogravure plates, and took over twenty years to produce. Although 500 sets were produced, only about half of those were bound. The present volume covers Indians of the Pacific slope, including the Hupa, Yurok, Kakrok, Wiyot, Tolowa and Tututni, Shasta, Achomawi and Klamath Indians. This is the most desirable of the three issues of the work, with the photogravures printed on tissue paper which is tipped to the leaves; there were also issues on Japon vellum paper and Holland paper.
