Greenwood Publishing Group : Daily Life of Native Americans from Post-Columbian through Nineteenth-Century America

Reviews:

-Arranged geographically, starting with the Eastern Woodlands and working west, this volume tells the story of peoples constantly adjusting to the ever-more-pressing dangers and adversity of encroaching white settlement in their lands. It also examines the strain experienced by Native Americans while trying to maintain a semblance of normal daily life in the face of change. Extensive notes, bibliography, chronology, illustrations, and primary-source documents supplement the fine text. —Curriculum Connections School Library Journal

-The Native American story is one of constant adjustments to ever-more-pressing dangers and adversity. And in that respect it is similar to the story of Europeans during the era of the Black Death. Both books expertly portray the lives of peoples under enormous strain to maintain a semblance of the normalcy implied by the term daily life. Each volume comes with a full complement of strong scholarship, including extensive notes, bibliographies, chronologies, illustrations, and excerpts from original sources. The prose and general composition suggest a laudable and consistently high level of editing. These volumes are both recommended for teens with strong reading skills and a background in history. (Reviewed with Daily Life during the Black Death) —School Library Journal

-Aimed at high school students and general readers, this text offers a glimpse of daily life in Native North America from Columbus' first voyage in 1492, to the end of the 19th century. Rather than attempt a comprehensive overview of some 500 nations, the authors focus on just a few groups in each of the main culture areas of the continental U.S. (e.g. the Iroquois Confederacy, the Great Plains). B&w drawings and historical photographs illustrate the volume. —Reference & Research Book News/Art Book News Annual
