500 Nations An Illustrated History of North American Indians

Josephy, a respected scholar of Native American history, refuses to homogenize the diverse nations and cultures that once fell into the misleading catch-all category of Indians....a handsome and richly illustrated volume, containing over four hundred archive-quality color reproductions of artifacts, paintings, prints and photographs. There is even a fascinating series of computer-generated images that re-create various native villages and towns as they might have appeared before contact with Europeans.Josephy, Alvin M., Jr. is the author of '500 Nations An Illustrated History of North American Indians' with ISBN 9780517163948 and ISBN 0517163942.
