The collection was created by Pablo Eisenberg; Amherst College purchased the collection when it was offered for sale by antiquarian bookseller Ken Lopez in August 2013.
From Ken Lopez's description: "The Pablo Eisenberg Collection of Native American Literature comprises nearly 1500 volumes written by American Indian writers from the 1700s to the 21st century -- including myths and legends, tribal histories, religious tracts, biographies and memoirs, fiction, poetry, drama and historical and political writings. It includes nearly 600 volumes of nonfiction and almost 900 volumes of literary work."
