From the inside cover:

PEOPLES OF THE TWILIGHT brings together forty-two little-known drawings by European artists (Johann Baptist Wengler, Fredrika Bremer, Adolph Hoeffler, and Franz Holzlhuber), a daguerreotype, and forty artifacts collected by European travelers (including Giacomo Costantino Beltrami, Albert-Alexandre de Pourtales, and Vojta Naprstek) to illustrate aspects of the lifeways of the Dakota, Chippewa, and Winnebago peoples prior to the Indian Wars of 1862. The commentary accompanying the illustrative material makes extensive use of the written accounts of better and lesser known Eauropean observers (Frederick Marryat, Joseph N. Nicollet, Francesco Arese, F.V. Lamare-Picquot, Moritz Wagner and Karl Scherzer, Aleksandr B. Lakier, Father Franz Peirz, and others).
