Dr. Gunther's unique integration of information concerning actual ethnographical specimens with accounts by the earliest explorers provides the fullest picture to date of the Northwest Coast Indian groups. Her ethnohistorical method extends knowledge of the Northwest cultures beyond the contributions of either ethnography or archeology. Her thoroughly illustrated study provides a complete catalog of all known Northwest Coast Indian artifacts gathered in the eighteenth century.
