. Chief Eaglewing was a Klamath Indian chief of Norther California and decided that while bones and pots could be dug up, songs, dances and legends needed to be preserved for future generations. He spent seventeen years gathering these stories. 5 ¾” x 8 ¼” and 34 pages. Old owner pen name on the cover. Some discoloration on the cover as well. Internally this remains very good. Quite scarce with the potentially fragile wrappers.
