Buffalo People: Portraits of a Vanishing Nation - Softcover
Mildred Valley Thornton had an abiding passion which she pursued with almost missionary fervor throughout her life -- the preservation of Plains Indian culture. For over fifty years she dedicated herself to that purpose through the medium of her paintings, writing and lectures. During the course of her self-appointed career, Mildred not only painted the portraits of many prominent and historical Natives, most of whom are long since dead, but she assembled an accompanying catalog of anecdotes, folklore and legends, mostly related in now long-forgotten native tongues, which today provide a unique chronicle of a vanished age. This publication is a unique collection of both Thornton's colorful portraits and the fascinating story behind each one.
