"Dr. Siebert's library of the North American Indian is probably the last great collection of Americana to chronicle and follow the frontier across our continent", Bailey Bishop writes among his reminiscences of Siebert in the two-page "Introduction" of this catalogue. "Dr. Siebert's collection covers Canada, the Northeast, the South, Trans-Appalachia, the Mississipi Valley, the Plains and Rockies, the West and Southwest, especially Texas, and includes Indian captivities, Indian treaties, Indian deeds, Indian language books, western overland narratives, Jesuit Relations, etc., including many border books and printings on frontier and mission hand presses."

" The catalogue will be of permanent value for its descriptions of rare publications, several not in J. C. Pilling's bibliographies (despite a few typos), and for the photographs of several of them. Eventually the two parts will be a record of the finest private collection of Americana sold in the second half of the twentieth century, one unlikely ever to be equaled."
