Condition is EX.(This is an extracted vintage article that was originally bound with many other scientific articles into one large U.S. government report. In this case, the original book was broken or wrecked at some point, so the remaining articles were removed and stapled into individual paper covers. The government reports contained many scientific articles, some original and some reprinted from other obscure sources. These articles are often overlooked by those who might find them of interest, because they rarely turn up in online title searches; and when it is located, the whole book and all the unrelated articles would have to be purchased as one.)(Native American Indian Tribes, Washington State, Puget Sound, Pacific Northwest History, Culture & Religion, Anthropology, Ethnology, Archeology, 19th Century, Social Sciences, Reference, Research, United States, Government Publications, Local and Regional History, Antiquarian Books, Paper and Ephemera).PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: All items are very well-packed for shipment and always include tracking numbers.
