Description

A book that grew from an eight-hour TV series, that is the epic and unforgettable story of the history, lore, legends, and legacy of North American Indians. With a highly accredited writer and over 485 paintings, woodcuts, drawings, and photographs–329 in four-color–this oversized volume addresses an issue of never-ending fascination, providing detailed details about the lives, culture, and heritage of hundreds of North The usa’s Indian nations. Never before has this subject been so thoroughly and deeply explored from the viewpoint of the Native American point of view.
The companion volume to the 1995 popular PBS series of the similar name, 500 Nations is a richly illustrated, absorbingly written history of North The usa’s indigenous peoples. Drawing on creation stories, oral history, archaeological evidence, federal documents, and hundreds of published sources, Josephy takes us on an encyclopedic journey through Native The usa’s past and present. Few scholars have Josephy’s command of his broad and complex subject, and fewer still write as dexterously. The result: the most efficient one-volume, general-interest study of Native American history now to be had.
