INDIAN SKETCHES, TAKEN DURING AN EXPEDITION TO THE PAWNEE AND OTHER TRIBES OF AMERICAN INDIANS. First British edition (and best edition, according to Howes), published the same year as the first American. Henry Ellsworth was commissioner in charge of this government expedition, undertaken with the purpose of signing a peace treaty with the Pawnee and Otoe tribes. Irving "tells the story of the council at the Pawnee village, the signing of peace and incidentally the tale of the 'human sacrifice' afterwards so famous" - Wagner-Camp.
