Item Details
Description
Featured in this lot is a First Edition of "Teepee Tales" by El Comancho (Walter Shelley Phillips), 1927. Published by The Reilly & Lee Co and illustrated throughout with black line drawings by Charles Livingston Bull and the Author. A wonderful anthology of Northwest Coast and Plains Indian legends, drawing upon the author's widely syndicated column "Teepee Tales" featuring illustrations by Charles Livingston Bull, the noted wildlife artist who had contributed to Jack London's Call of the Wild. Phillips (1867-1940) details in his introduction how these tales were drawn from the legends and folklore of the Salish, Siwash, Blackfeet, Rosebud Sioux, and Oglala Sioux. As popular writer, lecturer, artist, and naturalist, Phillips traveled extensively across the West, and switched between homes in Seattle and Chicago. Walter Shelley Phillips (1867-1940), best known by his pen name "El Comancho", was a popular Western writer, artist, and lecturer. A self-educated and self-trained naturalist, artist, geologist, newspaper reporter, freelance writer and author of numerous books. During his years as a game hunter for the expanding railroads, Phillips developed relationships with Plains Indians tribes, and these early experiences became the basis for a long career spent re-telling tribal stories, legends, and ways of life for readers and audiences around the country. The red cloth bound colour printed illustrated hardcover is in nice condition, slight scuffing to edges. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and slight foxing, measures 6.25"W x 8.75"L x 1"D, weight 1lb, 2oz.
