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

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

I found it repetitive at times. The paintings are the highlight, but the text needed better editing.
Harsh –
Interesting, but be aware of the author’s biases. It’s a product of its time, for sure.
Vaibhav Dhand –
The artwork is stunning! The text, however, can be a bit dry at times. Overall, a valuable historical document.

Catlin’s passion shines through. A bit romanticized, perhaps, but still a moving portrayal. A must-read.
Sneha Yadav –
A bit long-winded in places, but the detailed descriptions and artwork made it worth the effort.
Hemant Kumar –
A fascinating glimpse into the past. Catlin’s dedication is evident, though his perspective is undeniably dated. Still, worth reading.
