Review of 'The World of the American Indian.' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
What ages would I recommend it too? Ten and up.
Length? A few days.
Characters? Memorable, several characters.
Setting? Real world pre-history until the 1970.
Written approximately? 1974.
Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? Ready to read more.
Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Yes. How has the story changed since 1970?
Short storyline: A gripping history of Native Americans from pre-history until early 1970's.
Notes for the reader: Some tribes are called by different names now.
There is also a list of little known tribe names in the back of the book.
A better history than many that claim to be comprehensive. While there is no way to truly be comprehensive in one book, this one does a good job. It also mentions any lesser known tribes by name. How many millions of others will never be known by name?

Low vision readers: The print is a bit small for reading. Will take longer to read.
