| 520 | _a"Hunting Indians in a Taxi-Cab" by Kate Sanborn is a whimsical narrative focusing on the author's adventures in collecting wooden Indian figures that were once popular tobacco store signage. Written in the early 20th century, this book captures the nostalgic charm of a time when such figures adorned the storefronts of cigar shops and are indicative of broader cultural themes regarding the representation of Native Americans. The book explores the journey of hunting these relics, reflecting on the disappearance of both the figures and the cultural symbols they represent. In this collection of essays, Sanborn recounts her personal quest to acquire and appreciate the artistry of these wooden Indians, which serve as a testament to the once-vibrant presence of Native American culture in American society. The narrative weaves together delightful anecdotes about the various figures she encounters, such as the impressive Tacomus and the footless squaw, while also delving into the historical context of these symbols. Through her humorous observations and heartfelt musings, Sanborn emphasizes the importance of preserving not only the physical figures but also the stories and memories associated with them, ultimately critiquing the cultural amnesia that has led to their decline.
