Travels And Researches In Native North America, 1882-1883 by Herman ten Kate is an amazing travelogue that has only recently been Collaboratively translated by Pieter Hovens, William J. Orr, and Louis A. Hieb from the author's native Dutch into English. Offering studies and impressions of the Pima, Hopi, Apache, and Zuni people, with especial interest in the roles of women and children in these tribes, Travels And Researches In Native North America, 1882-1883 offers a clear and insightful perspective that is especially remarkable for its respect of native attitudes and culture, which it holds in higher regard than many other late 19th century treatises. A highly recommended addition to reference shelves that cover Native American history as well as outside cultures' perceptions of them.
