Book Reviews of Atlas of the North American Indian
Book Review: Atlas of the North American Indian
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with the majority of reviewers that this book is extremely well done. It is loaded with information dating from the very beginnings of Indian culture in North America down to the present. Carl Waldman not only writes an informative text, he also produces the majority of the mapsincluded in this book.
Waldman covers the first migrants to the continent, then follows their expansion across North America. He includes the first contact with Europeans ranging from the Spanish to the Russians, then covers the various Indian wars and land cessions. He wraps up with informative text on modern Indians including a state-by-state, and Canadian province-by-province of current recognized tribal governments.
His atlas is more than just maps, though. He writes a detailed text explaining how the Indians lived and traded and how the various European nations formulated Indian policy totheir own interests.
This book is not to be missed if you have any interest in native American cultures. It should remain at the head of its class for years to come. Normally something this comprehensive is published by Oxford University or some other established publisher with a history of rock-solid projects. But this book stands on its own merits, Oxford would be hard pressed to improve on this gem.
