Book summary

This accessible narrative history of the Native Americans synthesizes the current scholarship, archaeological evidence, and oral histories about Indian societies prior to the arrival of Europeans, as well as the changes that came after.

"A smooth, engaged narrative, a useful bibliographic essay make this a book that fills an enormous gap in the popular historical literature, written with a great feel for the many contexts it addresses."
