Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

Charles Alexander Eastman (1858-1939), also known as Hakadah and later as Ohiyesa, was a prominent Native American author, physician, and activist. He was born in a Dakota Sioux community near Redwood Falls, Minnesota, to a mixed-race family of Dakota and European descent. Orphaned at an early age during the Dakota War of 1862, Eastman was raised in the traditional Dakota Sioux manner until the age of 15, when he attended formal schooling in the East. Eastman went on to become one of the first Native Americans to graduate from medical school, earning his medical degree from Boston University in 1889. He dedicated much of his life to advocating for Native American rights and education, working as a physician on reservations and serving as a government Indian inspector. Eastman is best known for his writings that aimed to preserve and promote understanding of Native American culture and history. His works include several books such as ""Indian Boyhood"" (1902), ""Old Indian Days"" (1907), and ""The Soul of the Indian"" (1911), which were instrumental in shaping non-Native perceptions of Native American life and spirituality. These books often drew from his personal experiences and upbringing, offering insights into traditional Dakota Sioux customs, spirituality, and values. Charles A. Eastman's legacy extends beyond his literary contributions; he played a significant role in bridging cultural divides and promoting dialogue between Native and non-Native communities. His writings continue to be studied for their historical significance and their role in preserving Native American heritage.
