[Gutenberg 64372] • The Boy's Book of Indians and the Wild West

Excerpt from The Boy's Book of Indians and the Wild West

Before the white man came to America the Indians were clad almost entirely in the skins of animals which they themselves cured and dressed to perfection, fastening various pieces to gether with the tendons and tough strips of skin very much as we sew to-day. These garments, gayly ornamented with shells and colored stones, made very useful and picturesque clothing.
