Hard Back. Condizione: Very Good. No Dust Jacket As Published. First McRae Publications Printing. 178 Pages. This book is a very high quality reproduction printing of the of the J.B. Lippincott Company 1929 release. The photo offset printing negatives were taken from the first edition with the cooperation of the New Mexico State Library in Santa Fe. In the first edition the art plates were printed in color and hand-tipped into position but even in 1977 that process could not economically be repeated. However four of the color plates were reproduced and printed on the endpapers. These same plates are repeated in black and white in their proper sequence within the book. Author painter Frank Applegate was born in Illinois, attended the University and had considerable training in the Philadelphia Academy of fine Arts as well as the Julian Academy of Art in Paris. He came to New Mexico in the 1920s when many other gifted artists and writers were moving to Taos and Santa Fe. The author, by long experience and tremendous empathy, wrote from the Indian viewpoint, a rare achievement for a non-Indian. This is a beautiful original condition copy of a Rio Grand Classic.
