Madrano Caddo Indian ILLUSTRATED BY Roland Whitehorse, Kiowa Indian *************************** ***Note *** The author and illustrator may have since regretted this book, it was published back in 1955 **** Very Scarce book, with error- One who section of pages is repeated and printed and bound into the book TWICE-pages 167 through 182 appears TWICE- Autographed with inscription by the AUTHOR *** Vintage Hardcover book, w/ DJ, DJ shows wear, actual book in Excellent condition, minor wear, binding tight, pages clean and intact **************************** This is a piece of history that can be learned from, in my opinion.
