SECOND EDITION (Cover A, 1948)
Edition
Notes: Cover art by Don Ross. His Cover A was rendered
too harshly and was soon reworked. 156 pages, 5 1/2” x 8”.
Illustrations were two color (blue and black) linear cartoons by Don
Ross.
Historical Notes: The driving
force behind the book was a rewrite for nine year old boys. An age
change was meant to to take place in 1947 or 1948, but was held up
until 1949. Quote:
Many years ago, where your town or city now is there
might have been an Indian village where the people lived in tepees
or wigwams and shot buffalo or deer. If you live in Indian country,
you might even be able to find an Indian arrow-head if you look hard
for some in the fields and woods. There are lots of
interesting things about your town if you just find out about them. |
