Excellent history

Though written in 1970 as a major contribution to the revisionist history of native tribes in the U.S., it has been updated at late as 1983 and remains a very thorough history and distrurbing but nonetheless fascinating book to read.

Typical Debo

This book is so typical of Angie Debo, well written, factual, and so full of feeling for the subject, that one often feels you are taking part in the events descibed in the book.A very useful "general history" of Native Americans

Outstanding overview

I sought a panoramic view of Native American history and found it in this volume. Dr. Debo's writing is lucid and captivating. She is expert in the history of the Five Civilized Tribes but demonstrates her passion for all of Native American history in her superb coverage of other tribes.
