The Stone Age In North America

AN ARCHEOLOGICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE IMPLEMENTS,
ORNAMENTS, WEAPONS, UTENSILS, ETC., OF THE PRE-
HISTORIC TRIBES OF NORTH AMERICA, WITH MORE
THAN THREE HUNDRED FULL-PAGE PLATES AND
FOUR HUNDRED FIGURES ILLUSTRATING OVER
FOUR THOUSAND DIFFERENT OBJECTS

Warren K. Moorehead - 1910

Two Volume Set - 864 pages

 Gustav's Library Vintage Reprint

We were very fortunate in finding this two volume set in excellent condition and are currently working on the reprint. There are  864 pages in the two volumes along with over 400 plates (some in color). 

Undoubtedly Warren K. Moorehead's finest and most polished literary work.  This awesome set contains hundreds of photographs and full page plates of implements, ornaments, weapons and utensils of the North American Stone Age made of shell, bone, copper, pottery, flint, slate, basketry and other exotic materials.   Unbelievably all-inclusive, if you have seen it or can think of it, it's probably in here.  Illustrated with over 700 photographs, diagrams, line drawings and color plates and a hundred years old.  It's no wonder that an original set in good condition (if you can find one) sells for $650 - $1,0000   Out of reach for most of us (until now), we have republished it in a soft cover format in all of its glory,  including the original color plates. 

Please take a look below at a few of the great plates in this book.

Softbound, approximately 7-1/2" x 10",  864 page set of 2 volumes, contains   37 chapters, 300+  full page plates (including 5 full color and 14 photogravure), 400+ figures, illustrations and photographs. $54.95  for the 2 volume set
