    Description

    Up for purchase is a hardback copy of
    The Social Organization and Secret Societies of the
    Kwakiutl Indians
    by Franz Boas that is part of the Smithsonian Report for 1895. The report measures 6.25 x 9.25-inches in size, and the Boas article runs from page 311 to page 738 (=427 pages in length), making it the most complete study of the Kwakiutl Indians to date. See photos for contents.
    The report also contains
    The Graphic Art of the Eskimos
    by Walter James Hoffman beginning on page 739 to page 968. This article is based on an analysis of the art collection at the Smithsonian.
    Over time this particular copy was in the possession of three different famous anthropologists—Paul Radin, Ruth Benedict, and Dorothy Lee. See photos for their signatures.
    Shipping and handling is free. Foreign shipments at extra S&H.
