Excerpt from Earthenware of the New York AboriginesIn aboriginal New York earthenware we can make but three great divisions, the third Of which is Of small importance. First are those useful vessels whose fragments abound in many fields, but which are now so rare in their complete form. Then we have that remarkable class which gives us our best ideas Of aboriginal plastic art, and sometimes even more, the bold or graceful pipes which the natives smoked in days Of peace. The third class includes articles of a miscellaneous character, ornamental or useful, as well as some employed in games. These are few in number, and yet have importance in a limited way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
