Brewster - First Book of Indians - 026

The First Book Of Indians (1950) by Benjamin Brewster is one of the many books published by Franklin Watts in the First Book series. "When boys and girls FIRST start asking why?...what?...and how? FIRST BOOKS are the first books to read on any subject."

 

Benjamin Brewster was one of at least six names used by the author Franklin Folsom (1907-1995). Other books he wrote for the First Book series include The First Book of Baseball (1950), The First Book of Cowboys (1950), and The First Book of Eskimos (1952), which was also illustrated by Ursula Koering.

 

Ursula Koering was a prolific illustrator of children's books who illustrated many books in the First Books series. Late in life she worked as a sculptor at the Franklin Mint.
