The narrative and the pictures perfectly met my quest for that information. The level of research and its presentation is very well done.In one volume the author presents a level of information that anyone can understand and absorb. The history of the Iroquois could fillvolumes but this volume boils it down so the story is wonderfully told.
Great book of Native Americans. Well presented. Makes a fine gift for those expressing interest in the history and culture.
Excellent book, lots of good photos and explanations.
