Description: [LINCOLN, ABRAHAM] [DAKOTA LANGUAGE] Abraham Lincoln Toni Kin, Qa Aesop Tawoyake Kin (Life of Abraham Lincoln and Aesop's Fables) Author: GARVIE, Rev. James (trans.); Miss Jennie W. Cox and Miss Eunice Kitto (trans.) Title: [LINCOLN, ABRAHAM] [DAKOTA LANGUAGE] Abraham Lincoln Toni Kin, Qa Aesop Tawoyake Kin (Life of Abraham Lincoln and Aesop's Fables) Publication: Santee Agency, Neb. A. L. Riggs, 1893 Edition: First Edition Description: Sewn binding. 16mo, 17pp., 10pp. About fine in the publisher's string-tied printed cardstock wraps. Trivial dog-ears to three leaves, and very faint toning to the edges of the wraps, else a lovely example. The copyright page notes: "Printed by Indian Pupils of Santee Normal Training School, Santee Agency, Neb." An exceedingly scarce volume. According to a profile of Garvie at the Logan Museum of Anthropology, he was raised on the Sisseton Reservation in South Dakota. A gifted student, he joined the faculty of the Santee Normal Training School under Alfred Riggs as the printing instructor. In a biography of Henry Roe Cloud, a graduate of the Santee school and the first Native American graduate of Yale, the writer notes that Henry worked in the print shop, and that: "Riggs thought that the story of Lincoln's struggles to educate himself would be a great object lesson for the students" (p. 22). The second portion of the text, a partial translation of Aesop's Fables, was executed by two female students of the school. The pamphlet is recorded by a healthy number of institutions, however the digital and physical holdings are muddled in OCLC. Monaghan (3856) noted "24 copies known" in 1945. This seems to be an accurate ballpark, as only a handful of copies seem to have emerged in auction records since then, the most recent in an Eberstadt catalogue in 1964, offered at the princely sum of $200. Marken records two other publications by the Santee school, but not this one. Monaghan 3856. Rare. Fine.
