Source Material for the Social and Ceremonial Life of the Choctaw Indians

Long considered the undisputed authority on the Indians of the southern United States, anthropologist John Swanton published this comprehensive and informative history as the Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 103 in 1931. Swanton's long association with the Choctaws is evident in his thorough descriptions of their customs and way of life and in his sensitivity to the preservation of their native culture. Many contemporary scholars will consider this book the most comprehensive ever published on the Choctaw people. This reprint edition includes an introduction defining Swanton's work in the context of the early 1900s and his fascination with Native American cultures.Swanton, John R. is the author of 'Source Material for the Social and Ceremonial Life of the Choctaw Indians', published 1999 under ISBN 9780942301212 and ISBN 0942301218.
