Customer Reviews:
Lots of information
Wow! so incredible the articles/information are. I didn't realize how many pages the book contained (i didn't read the descriptions). I was trying to find children's books, and got more than what I asked for, which is great. I was able to donate it to the library at my duty station in Japan, of which they absolutely loved. There weren't many adult versions of Native American books that were in good condition; and by them receiving this book was a wonderful gift.
Wonderful art, fascinating text.
I don't know how sound any of it is academically, but this book is worth it just for the gorgeous art - both contemporary and older. I also found the essays really interesting. Unbiased? Probably not, but definitely perspectives worth reading.
Fact is they lost
Enjoyed reading this book. It provides the reader with a basic history of the competition between the native population and the incoming europeans in which they lost. Nicely written. Nicely illustrated.
Does it change my view of things on this Matter?
No.
Dont waste your money...
This book has one over-riding theme repeated constantly: The White Man is always wrong and the Indian is and has always been an innocent victem. I won't list details, but the lack of objectivity and obvious implications to the promote the theme are insulting. Although the book may contain some valuable and useful facts about Native Americans and their lifestyles, it is impossible to determine how authentic any of them are due to the overt propaganda that is being constantly asserted.
History in Pictures
A beautiful book that pleases the mind and eyes. Very authoritative and full of historical and anecdotal information relating to the Native Americans. Begins with pre-Columbus and continues through the ages to the 90's. A must read for anyone interested in Native american culture and history. The photographs and illustrations are priceless and well worth the price of the book. Add this to your history collection, younsters enjoy browsing at the wonderful prints of paintings and illustrations. An easy read whose pictures entertain and captivate the imagination.
