Presentation set of Schoolcraft's monumental and profusely illustrated survey of the Native American tribes, volumes one to five variously inscribed on behalf of the author, the illustrator Seth Eastman, and two Commissioners of Indian Affairs to Buckingham Smith (1810-1870), diplomat, historian of Spanish exploration in Florida and the Americas, and the first surveyor of the Everglades following Florida's accession to the United States in 1845. Volume one is a first issue, retaining the chromolithographic plates with the imprints of Ackerman, Bowen or Duval, and the unabbreviated title page.An excellent association. In volume three Schoolcraft acknowledges his use of Smith's transcripts of documents held in the Archivo-General, Mexico City, which Smith made during his posting as secretary of legation (1850-2), and of Smith's translation of the 16th-century narrative of Alvar N£¤ez Cabeza de Vaca. In fact, Smith privately supported the criticism directed against Schoolcraft by archaeologist E. G. Squier (1821-1888) from 1854, but Schoolcraft nevertheless helped secure Smith's next posting as secretary of legation in Madrid (1855-8; see Dippie, Catlin and His Contemporaries, p. 254).Inconsistencies in the numbering of the plates have led to records' also calling for 327 or 332 plates, this last figure counting 'plates' 17, 32, 33 and 36 in volume five as individuals, although they appear on two sheets.Provenance: Buckingham Smith (1810-1870; presentation inscriptions); given by Smith to 'John Cunningham of Sevilla' in 1864 (gift inscription to volume one); library of Michelina Gorgolini, Rome (ink-stamps); Jay T.
