Original 1973 first edition of Rock Drawings of the Micmac Indians by Marion Robertson, published by The Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Bibliographic records confirm this 1973 Nova Scotia Museum edition, and specialist booksellers identify it as the first edition.

An important illustrated study of Mi'kmaq (Micmac) petroglyphs and rock art of Nova Scotia, particularly the carvings recorded at Kejimkujik Lake and along the Medway River. The book reproduces George Creed's historic tracings of the petroglyphs, with the drawings reproduced by Lynda Peverill.

The volume contains extensive illustrations documenting human figures, animals, birds, hunting scenes, ships, religious imagery, decorative forms and other imagery found among the rock carvings. A specialist bookseller describes the volume as containing approximately 160 unpaginated pages and 319 figures.
