The Best Intro. for Childrento America Before the White Man

I purchased this book for my niece's daughter in the 1980's. Now that I have a daughter of my own, I have been trying to find a copy of this book. This is by far and away the best intro. that I have seen to America before the white man for children. It covers every corner of North America and discusses the life styles of the peoples who lived there before European culture came. It is beautifully integrated into the actual geography of the places described and discussed, with a very real sense of the nature of the locales of North America, executed by one of America's best natural and anthropological historians, Carl Sauer. It is a tragedy that it is currently out of print. Hopefully soon someone will pick it up and reprint it.
