This view of Brisbane is from the southern part of the Expo 88 site on the South Bank of the Brisbane River. To the left centre of the engraving can be seen the first Bridge across the Brisbane River, a temporary wooden structure opened on June 24, 1865, which was replaced by the permanent Victoria Bridge in June, 1874. The right foreground depicts the Presbyterian Church built in 1851 in Grey Street, South Brisbane, which remained in use until the erection of the Park Presbyterian Church. Looking across the river the Observatory may be seen through the fork of the tree on the left, and further to the right the Deanery, originally the home of Dr. Hobbs, built by Andrew Petrie. It became the first home of Sir George Ferguson Bowen, Queensland's first Governor. Closer to the river may be seen the Military Barracks (later the Treasury), St John's Parsonage and St John's Pro-Cathedral. Behind St John's may be seen St Paul's Church on the site of the Gresham Hotel, in Creek Street. Next to the Pro-Cathedral are the Commandant's Residence, the first Electrical Telegraph Office (formerly the Evangelical Church in William Street) and the first Government Printing Office, which was replaced by the present building in 1874.

Compilation of the communications via letter as well as extended opinions of Vincent Colyer, a member of the United States Board of Indian Commissioners, regarding the relationship of the Apache and various other Indian nations (Pima, Maricopa, Aravapa, Ute etc.) with the United States government and the white settlers of Arizona and New Mexico. For the date written, Colyer's opinions of the Apache in particular are extremely gracious and progressive. The discussion of the letters centers predominantly around the search for an adequate place for the relocation of these "peaceful" Apache, i.e. the creation of reservations, and also includes a cultural description of the Apache Indians and their behaviorBIOGRAPHICAL NOTE This pamphlet documents an important era in the relationship between the United States government and the Southwestern Indian nations, the era of Indian relocation to reservations and the numerous attempts, with successes and failures, at signing peace treaties. The views of the era in terms of race relations between the indigenous peoples and the white settler are discussed and expressed.
