The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
With the publication of this volume, May McNeer and Lynd Ward bring to a conclusion a magnificent text-and-picture survey of the North American Continent. Their previously published, highly praised The Mexican Story and The Canadian Story are now connected by this study of the Indians of the heartland of this continent. The plan of all the volumes in this series is the same: to tell in animated, anecdotal style, and to show in brilliant, authentic pictures, the life and history of their subject.
Here then is a panorama of American Indian life. In twenty-six chapters, we have the American Indian story from the time of The First to Come, through the Great Indian Heroes, The Powerful Tribes, The Fierce Wars—all making a book as colorful and vigorous as any May McNeer and Lynd Ward have ever done. Moreover, the book is packed with sound information on Indian origins, ways of life, and arts. A companion volume worthy in every way to its two fine forerunners, The American Indian Story, is illustrated with more than 60 lithographs, many of which are in full color.
