I am always amazed by the tedious research necessary for a book of this quality. The writer has only the yearly count and verbal stories from which to verify the "white mans" account. This is a must read for anyone truly interested in the true history of this country, that seems to have been so frequently left out of our history books.
A recommended pick for both military history and Native American collections

In Native American Weapons, well over a hundred color photos and illustrations provide an important, detailed survey of weapons made and used by Native Americans from Mexico to the US, ancient to modern times. Accompanying these photos and drawings are clear surveys and explanations of both the weapons and their roles in tribal culture and systems. A recommended pick for both military history and Native American collections.
