1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Waste of Money for You and Your Children, January 23, 2007

By	C. Henry (Annapolis, Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Maryland Native Americans: A Kid's Look at Our State's Chiefs, Tribes, Reservations, Powwows, Lore & More from the Past & the Present (Carole Marsh State Books) (Paperback)

The person who wrote the editorial review of this book must have been reading a different book. This 'reference' is so devoid of useful information that it is the only book purchase I have ever made from Amazon where I truly feel like I deserve my money back. It doesn't even list the Native Americans that lived in the state of Maryland, much less anything about their daily life.

2.0 out of 5 stars reads as a glossary, November 28, 2004

By	S. SOMMER - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book does contain a large amount of information but it reads and is set up like a glossary. It would be useful as a companion book, but not alone.
