The Woodland cultural areas of the eastern half of America has been the most important in shaping its history. This volume details the history, culture and conflicts of the 'Woodland' Indians, a name assigned to all the tribes living east of the Mississippi River between the Gulf of Mexico and James Bay, including the Siouans, Iroquians, and Algonkians. In at least three major battles between Indian and Euro-American military forces more soldiers were killed than at the battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, when George Custer lost his command. With the aid of numerous illustrations and photographs, including eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook, this title explores the history and culture of the American Woodland Indians.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Woodland Indians (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This book is a combination of a visual guide and a condensed history of pretty much all the Indian tribes east of the Mississippi-quite a bit of real estate for a book of 48 pages. The text is simply written and offers only the barest bones of a historical outline; the information on the culture, religion, clothing, artwork, and the fur trade is rather off topic (this is supposed to be military history) but was pretty informative and contained some information new to me. And like all Osprey books the color plates are the best part of the book (I always save them for last when I get a new book from this series). Overall, its usefulness as a visual guide and the information on the non-military topics led me to give this one four instead of three stars.
