This 477 page paperback book is Johann Georg Kohl's classic work about the Ojibway of Lake Superior. (From the back cover) An urbane, well-traveled European, a trained ethnologist, and an accomplished popular writer, Kohl (1808-78) visited the Ojibway in 1855 and turned his sensitive powers of observation on a nation of people he found not unlike his own. He describes daily life, detailing religious practices, legends, foods, games, medicines, homes, clothing, and methods of travel, hunting, and fishing. Kohl's respect for the Ojibway makes his writing especially appealing to the modern reader.
