Synopsis
This profusely illustrated A-to-Z-format reference book contains more than 800 entries encompassing the history of the American Indians from the time of the discovery of America up to the present day. Each carefully cross-indexed entry is an exciting tale of the legends, lore, beliefs, tools, and customs of all known Native-American tribes. Here are the lives of great Indian leaders, the history of Indian wars, full descriptions of Indian weapons, and the influence of the Indian languages on American English. There are frequent references to the hundreds of places in America that bear Indian names. Finally, the historical figures from many different nations who played important roles in shaping the course of Indian history are surveyed. The anglicized word powwow, for instance - today used to connote a political conference or talk - comes from the Massachuset Indian word pauwau, first meaning a feast or war expedition and later used as the term for a public council where difficulties or problems facing the people were discussed and resolved. The famous Native-American chief Crazy Horse (of the Oglala Sioux) is said to have received his name because a wild horse dashed through the village at the time of his birth. The fascinating and violent history of his later life - detailed in this book's entry for him - echoes the elements in his name. The Concise Encyclopedia of the American Indian brings together the combined knowledge of a writer and an illustrator both with outstanding skills and years of personal research in the field. This comprehensive encyclopedia may be used as a reference source or read for the pure enjoyment of its fascinating accounts of American Indian history and lore. Book jacket., By Bruce Grant. 200 B&W Line drawings.With over 800 entries this copiously illustrated reference work is a fascinating history of the American Indian from the discovery of America to the present.
