Houses And House-Life Of The American Aborigines is a book written by Lewis H. Morgan, an American anthropologist, in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of the various types of houses built by the indigenous peoples of North America, including their construction methods, materials used, and the cultural significance of these structures. Morgan’s book is divided into two parts. The first part describes the houses and house-life of the Iroquois, a group of Native American tribes who lived in what is now New York State. Morgan provides a detailed analysis of the different types of Iroquois houses, including longhouses, wigwams, and bark houses. He also explores the social and cultural significance of these structures, including their role in Iroquois kinship systems and religious practices.The second part of the book focuses on the houses and house-life of other Native American tribes from across North America, including the Algonquian, Siouan, and Pueblo peoples. Morgan provides a comparative analysis of the different types of houses built by these groups, highlighting similarities and differences in construction methods, materials used, and cultural significance.Overall, Houses And House-Life Of The American Aborigines is a comprehensive and detailed study of the architecture and culture of Native American peoples. It provides a valuable resource for anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in the history and culture of North America’s indigenous peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
