A Historical Atlas of North America Before Columbus

This title examines the lifestyles of the native tribes that lived in America before the arrival of the Europeans. Divided into distinct regions, the Indian tribes of the Northeast, the Northwest, the Plains, the Southeast, and the Southwest are profiled. With both contemporary and historical maps and primary source images, the author looks at the lifestyles and contributions of the native people who lived there. The devastating results of the intermingling of European and Native American cultures are fully explored, including the impact of disease, the massive drop in Indian populations, and other consequences of the European migration to the New World.
