Like a centuryold version of Night at the Museum, 1918s The Trail Book is the story of two children whose quiet evenings at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City are enlivened by adventure. When 11yearold Dorcas Jane and her brother, Oliver, see the lifesize dioramas of Indian cultures and North American wildlife come alive, they step into the world of the ancient past and discover that much had been lost when European and Native American collided after the arrival of Columbus... Much more than a childrens story, The Trail Book is a classic of cultural study that readers of global history and the clash of civilizations continue to find intriguing today, with its unique perspective on the story of North America, told from the perspective of those who were already here when it was "discovered" by Europeans. This edition features the original illustrations by Milo Winter, as well as the authors notes on the historical background of her tales and glossary of Indian and Spanish names. American author MARY HUNTER AUSTIN (18681934) wrote numerous novels, poems, plays, and works of criticism, much of it centered on feminist, environmental, and multicultural issues. She is best remembered for her writing on matters concerning Native American rights and the deserts of the American Southwest.
