Lerner Publishing Group's new release THE INDIAN WARS:Chronicle of America's Wars by Carol H. Behrman is a fast reading, comprehensive history of the plight of Native Americans in the United States from the Age of Exploration to the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890. The author's accurate, well documented text is an easy read. Illustrations, page layouts, maps and sidebars inform and vividly bring to life those critical times, people, and events. Timelines, bibliography, source notes, and websites encourage further study.This is one of the best texts I've seen on this era - a must for elementary and junior high school libraries. You'll need duplicate copies of this fascinating book.

There were how many Indian Wars?

This book covers a great deal of material in a very engaging manner. It is written with a respect for the reader and makes this period come alive for any age.

A teacher and author from New England

I was totally absorbed as I read this beautifully written chronicle of the Indian Wars. As a teacher and author, I appreciate the talent of Carol Behrman who provides the reader with fascinating and comprehensive facts of history in a style that young people will find enjoyable as well as educational. The history is not slanted or distorted and the details of the destruction of the Native American nations are told objectively and honestly. Ms. Behrman's delightful writing, the many historical photographs and charts, and the superbly designed book is a "must have" for every library.
