The notice of its appearance prompted this reply from Catlin: "The pamphlet you speak of as 'printed privately for a very select circle, ' is a gross and mangled extract from my account of the Mandan Religious Ceremony, printed and circulated without my permission or knowledge; of which I have demanded the surrender of every copy printed; and for every reprint or circulation of the same I will prosecute."Collation: 67 p.; 22 cm Contributor Bio:  Catlin, George George Catlin (1796-1872) was the first, and perhaps the most famous, painter of Native Americans.
