The American Numismatic Society is pleased to announce the release of an exciting new book in our Studies in Medallic Art series: "Let Us Have Peace" A Catalogue of Indian Peace Medals at the American Numismatic Society.

With 535 pages, including more than 600 images printed in full color, Let Us Have Peace offers a detailed numismatic, art- and socio-historical discussion of 302 Indian peace medals and related objects that entered the cabinet of the American Numismatic Society between 1883 and 2018. The medals represent an important and often under-utilized resource for the history of relationships between the Native peoples of North America and the colonial powers of France, Great Britain, and Spain, as well as their successors, Canada and the United States of America. Despite being inanimate objects of silver and copper, the Indian peace medals in the ANS collection are incomparable storytellers, each offering its own tale of the past that gives us insight into the remarkable lives of the medals' creators, distributors, and recipients.

Publication of this book has been made possible by the generous support of Kenneth L. Edlow and Stack's Bowers Galleries.

For any questions about the book please contact publications@numismatics.org, though orders should be placed directly with ISD for any US-based purchasers or Brepols for those living outside of the United States. ANS members are eligible for a 30% discount on this title and all other ANS publications.
