SEVEN AND NINE YEARS AMONG THE COMANCHES AND APACHES. "A revoltingly fictious story written to advertise Dr. Clark Johnson's Indian blood syrup, and made up mainly of descriptions of Indian life and customs, some of which are cribbed, with considerable garbling from Catlin" - Ayer. A direct advertisement for the miracle cure follows the text. An interesting example of "product placement" in 19th-century Western Americana.
