This review is from: Wampum: A Paper Presented to the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Philadelphia (Paperback)

Having been told several conflicting answers concerning how Wampum was used when
white society began their trading interactions with the Native American society,
I decided to dive into heavy research to find the truth of the matter. This title
came up and I purchased it right away. It settled "ALL" of the questions I was searching
for, provided the proof that was needed, and gave a good, solid history on how Wampum
was used as money by both the Native Americans and white society as well. If research
is your quest, if you want substantial proof of how Wampum was really used (and with
unexpected detail), this work will benefit your research in an excellent manner. After
reading this paper, I now feel many "mountain men" and "traders" at a rendezvous should
read this paper as part of thier research so they can give the general public accurate
information concerning Wampum and how it was used. Good reading concerning the subject.
