24mo. 17, (1), 10pp. A intriguing blend of translation and student printing from students at the Santee Normal Training School. The School, like so many others of the period, was founded with the intention of re-educating Indigenous American youth and forcing them into the homogenized mould of the white settler. Included in the curriculum were vocational skills, printing among them: a notable inheritance from the foundations of American print culture with the Algonquin Bible, also manufactured by Indigenous printers. Here the students have produced a transliteration of the life of Abraham Lincoln and Aesop's fables. Bound in plain printed wrappers. Some creasing along spine, else near fine.
