Here in one volume is an indispensable guide to the extensive
ethnohistorical research that, in recent decades, has recovered the
varied and often unexpected history of Comanche, Cheyenne, Osage, and
Sioux Indians, to name only a few of the tribal groups included. From
the earliest archaeological evidence to the current experience of
Indians living on and off reservations, a wealth of information is
presented in a clear and accessible way..
