FRIAR, Ralph & Natasha: The Only Good Indian...The Hollywood Gospel. New York, Drama Book Specialists/Publishers, 1972. FIRST PRINTING. Hardcover with dust jacket, 332 pp. Subject: Nonfiction / Native Americans- Portrayals in Popular Culture / Hollywood and Native Americans - Negative Stereotypes. Book and jacket condition: Very Good. Light edge-wear to jacket extremities. Nevertheless a copy in near-fine condition with all pages unmarked. Well written and documented account of the stereotypical portrayals of Native American people - from earliest accounts of the so-called "blood-thirsty savage" to the popular 19th century dime novels regarding the "Noble Savage."
