Abstract

At last an affordable version of Mooney's classic monograph is available that maintains the integrity of the 1896 Bureau of American Ethnology publication to the last detail, including the information-laden appendixes, illustrations, and the original pagination (pp. 653-1136). Additional features include an updated map depicting the sphere of Ghost Dance influence, five colorized plates, and an introduction by Raymond J. DeMallie delineating Mooney's contributions to ethnographic research in North America.
