Captivating,
By wally57@aol.com (Edmond, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Man's Rise to Civilization As Shown by the Indians of North America from Primeval Times to the Coming of the Industrial State. (Hardcover)
An intriguing overview of pre-Colombian American history, and how Europeans did not necessarily bring "civilization" to the "New World". Farb weaves a deep knowledge of his subject with a casual style that leaves the reader wanting to visit the sites, meet the people and experience more. Should be required reading for every high school and college student - and Congressman, Senator and President - in America.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Man's Rise to Civilization As Shown by the Indians of North America from Primeval Times to the Coming of the Industrial State. (Hardcover)
I first read this book in 1969. It struck me then as one of the best books I'd read, a thought that stayed with me all this time. On a whim I bought the book again recently and I am devouring it. For those who are interested in society and how it evolved, this book is a "can't miss"! It's filled with fascinating information and is written in a style that is compelling. After 40 years I can still say it's a favorite.
