Trails of Tears, Paths of Beauty DELUXE Book | Nat Geo Native American History

Authored by Jerry O'Connell (and others) and published in 1998, this book is a compelling blend of history, culture, and stunning photography. This copy is the Deluxe Collector's/Presentation Edition, featuring a luxurious, rich maroon/burgundy leatherette hard cover with gold foil accents. The cover has an embedded full-color image of stylized horses in a warm, ochre color palette, reminiscent of ancient or Native American cave/ledger art.
