Greenough, F. W. |
| Description |
F. W. Greenough served as publisher of the McKenny and Hall "History of the Indian Tribes of North America" with lithographs
by John T. Bowen beginning ca. 1838. Greenough replaced E. C. Biddle and pledged on the reissue of Part 8 of the series "the
daily increase of the subscription list enables him to say that, instead of allowing the work to decline in merit, as is frequently
the case with similar undertakings, additional efforts will be made, without regard to expense, to render it yet more worthy
of favor." Under Greenough, Bowen produced new, redrawn stones for most of the prints already published, as well as thirty-six
new images until 1841 when Greenough declared bankruptcy and was forced to withdraw as publisher.
