Breen (OSAGE CATALOGUE ENTRIES). -- The catalogue section of the book is divided into four parts: the Southwest, California, the Northwest Coast, and the Osage of Oklahoma. Each part contains an essay reviewing Culin's goals and itinerary within the region, his main contacts, and the social and economic conditions that contributed to his success. Based primarily on his hitherto unpublished expedition reports, these essays portray Culin as an indefatigable and competitive collector, exalting in his triumphs but frequently acknowledging confusion and defeat as he faced the challenges of collecting in communities where acculturation had already rendered many native artifacts obsolete. - The objects in this beautifully illustrated book show the remarkable breadth of Culin's collecting and demonstrate the aesthetic and historical significance of his choices. Ranging from tiny amulets to monumental totem poles, they include unusual games such as a string figure made by a Navajo boy, rare ceremonial regalia such as a Maidu feather belt, and outstanding examples of more familiar artifact types. Culin's detailed documentation allows Objects of Myth and Memory to present masterworks of American Indian art in a precise social and historical context.
