  1. Avdhut Arjun Rane

    An important record, but I wish there was more context from indigenous voices. Catlin’s view is limited.

  2. Shivam Shrivastava

    Absolutely beautiful paintings! Gives great insight into the culture of North American Indians. Highly recommended.

  3. Devanshi Singh

    A powerful and important book. It is sad and beautiful to experience what Catlin saw. A must read!

  4. Nitin Kumar Pal

    The illustrations are incredible. It is a window into a world that was, but one sided narrative.

  5. Midhunprasad M

    I found it repetitive at times. The paintings are the highlight, but the text needed better editing.

  6. Harsh

    Interesting, but be aware of the author’s biases. It’s a product of its time, for sure.

  7. Vaibhav Dhand

    The artwork is stunning! The text, however, can be a bit dry at times. Overall, a valuable historical document.

  8. Rixcel Katoch

    Catlin’s passion shines through. A bit romanticized, perhaps, but still a moving portrayal. A must-read.

  9. Sneha Yadav

    A bit long-winded in places, but the detailed descriptions and artwork made it worth the effort.

  10. Hemant Kumar

    A fascinating glimpse into the past. Catlin’s dedication is evident, though his perspective is undeniably dated. Still, worth reading.

  11. Jasmine Kaur

    Wonderful resource for understanding Native American history! The art complements the narrative perfectly.
