A Good Synopsis

This is a good, concise account of many of the nations top Indian leaders from the 1500's to 1900's. Provides enough of a historical background to give each person a proper context in Water's account. Well written, easily read and fluid. An exciting account which gives a clear picture of Indian relations with the white European settlers and the inevitable conflicts that would find all nations. The chapters are short, a book you can easily put down and pick up later. Water's own comments in the book about Native ways and those of today's society is a real eye opener for those that don't think along those lines.
